Maintenance WARNING To avoid serious injury, perform maintenance on the tractor or dozer blade only when the engine is stopped, parking brake is set and all moving parts have stopped. Always remove the ignition key before beginning maintenance or adjustments to prevent accidental starting of the engine.
Skid Shoe Adjustment Slotted holes are provided to permit adjustment of the shoe assemblies for raising and lowering the blade to various working heights (see Figure 3). When cleaning snow from gravel or earth drives or walks, the shoe assemblies should be lowered fully to prevent blade contact with gravel or ground.
Adjustments Lift Rod Adjustment In the fully raised position the blade should be 6” off the ground. In the fully lowered position, the lift rod should slightly compress the spring creating downward pressure on the blade. NOTE: Always adjust the lift height before and after adjusting the downward pressure.
