Dozer Blade Skid Shoes

Adjust the skid shoes to allow the required clearance
under the blade. On level, paved surfaces, adjust the
skid shoes to allow approximately 1/4 in. (6 mm) clear-
ance between the cutting edge and the surface. On un-
even or gravel surfaces, allow 1/2 to 3/4 in. (13 to 19
mm) clearance, depending on the size of the gravel.
Refer to Skid Shoe Height Adjustment illustration.

Rotary Broom Brush Leveling

IMPORTANT: The proper level adjustment of the
broom is essential for efficient operation and life of the
bristles. The broom should regularly be adjusted to
prevent uneven brush wear.
1. Extend the parking stands and raise the broom to
the transport position (so that the bristles do not
contact the ground).
2. Loosen the three bolts on the upper coupler of the
pivot bracket.
3. Gently lower the broom head until the brush is par-
allel to ground level on both sides. Place a block of
wood under each side of the brush to keep the
brush in place.
4. Tighten the three bolts on the upper coupler, re-
move the wood blocks, and lower the broom to the
ground to make sure the brush is level.

height according to type of application.

Rotary Broom Drive Chain Tension

The drive chain should have 1/4 to 1/2 in. (6 to 13 mm)
of slack at midspan. Remove the chain guard cover to
