Operating The Snowblower - Alamo Industrial Great White M8000MD Operator's Manual

Operating the Snow Blower
When ready for use, stop the snow blower and set the
chute deflector to the desired position. Adjust shoe
so that the blade is at the desired height. Make sure
that the blade is running at an even height at both ends.
Check that the skid shoes are approximately 1/2" below
the snowblower frame. This will pitch the machine
forward slightly to provide a steeper cutting angle for
the cutting edge. Be sure to replace the cutting edges
when they become worn to prevent wear on the
snowblower frame. Adjust the skid shoe using the
crank handle. Count the turns of the handle for each
side to ensure level adjustment.
Optional Gauge Wheels
On units equipped with optional gauge wheels, set
height by adjusting the ratchet jack. Once height is
set use jam nut on Jack to lock in place.
