SECTION 2: OPERATING THE BLADE
SECTION 3: ADJUSTMENTS
The skid shoes may be adjusted by loosening the two
nuts and repositioning at the desired height.
The tension on the blade head spring can be adjusted to
suit conditions. To stiffen the blade trip action, loosen the
hex nut on the spring bolt and tighten the knob. The
normal adjustment of the spring tension is for the spring
bolt to extend 1" through the hex nut.

ANGLE
LOCK
BAR
The lift handle, located on the left side of the snow blade,
is used to raise and lower the blade. Pulling the lift handle
all the way back raises the snow blade. Move the lift
handle forward to lower the snow blade to the ground.
The angle of the blade can be adjusted to the right or left
by pulling back on the angle lock bar, shown in figure 6,
and repositioning the head of the blade to the right, left or
center.
Always begin with the engine speed at the lowest pos-
sible setting, and gradually increase speed as required.
When working in a large area, do not attempt to move the
snow or dirt all in the same direction, causing an exces-
sive build-up, which would become larger with each
pass.
