!! ! OPERATION! ! !
** Your blade and hardware were designed with your
safety in mind. In order to protect you and your machine,
certain parts of the blade and / or hardware are designed
to fail when the equipment is over stressed. For this
reason Push Tubes, Blade Hinges, Push Plate Attaching
Pins and Clevis Pins are not covered by Warranty.
* Blade angle is adjustable. Raise blade. To move the
blade left, right or straight, pull the Blade Position Lever
ahead and turn the blade to the desired position. The
Lever will spring back when the blade is at the correct
angle.
* The blade skids are adjustable so the blade can be
lowered but still held a certain distance off the ground.
* The blade is designed to trip when it strikes an object or
digs in too far. When pressure is released the blade
springs back into position. Blade spring tension may be
set stiffer by tightening the Locknuts on the bottom of the
Eyebolts. For less spring tension, loosen the Locknuts.
* Do not exceed 5 MPH with blade installed.
* Operate with extreme caution on slopes, steep grades
and rough terrain.
* Keep away from blade and moving parts during
operation.
