  • Page 11: Operation

    INSTALLATION Removing the V-Snow Blade WARNING! Serious injury or death may result from disengaging the blade when the blade is in an unstable position. Place blade on a firm, level surface in a stable position before disengaging. NOTICE! HOSES FOR THE BLADE MUST BE REMOVED BEFORE THE QUICK ATTACH IS DISENGAGED.
  • Page 12 CAUTION! A V-SNOW BLADE IS A DEMANDING MACHINE. Only fully trained operators or trainee operators under supervision of a fully trained person should use this machine. Before operating blade •Learn blade and prime mover controls in an off-road location.
  • Page 13 OPERATION •Only operate the blade while you are in the seat of the prime mover. The seat belt must be fastened while you operate the prime mover. Only operate the controls while the engine is running. Protective glasses must be worn while you operate the prime mover and while you operate the blade.
  • Page 14 OPERATION Straight Position: 1. If starting from the scoop position, reverse flow until right blade completely retracts. 2. While still reversing flow, retract left blade until it is in the straight position. 3. Use normal flow to extend right blade until it is parallel to left blade.
  • Page 15 OPERATION Electro-Hydraulic Model Adjusting V-Blade: 1. Start the prime mover at idle and raise the blade. 2. Adjust the blade to the desired angle (refer to “angling instructions”) and then lower to the ground. 3. Adjust blade until it is level to the ground ( refer to “leveling instructions”). 4.

  • Page 44: Bolt Torque Specifications

    BOLT TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS NOTE - Nylock nuts are utilized when greater resistance to vibrating loose is required, and greater operating temperatures are not a factor. In addition, like lock nuts, nylock nuts have a safety feature that if the bolt does vibrate loose, the nut will remain on the screw. Install nylock nuts to the standard torque shown above.
