ADJUSTMENTS

Skid Shoe Adjustment

On smooth surfaces such as concrete or asphalt, the
scraper bar should scrape the surface. On surfaces
such as gravel, the scraper bar should be set high
enough so that it will not pick up debris.
1. Loosen the nuts securing the skid shoes (see
Figure 3).
2. Raise or lower the scraper bar to the desired height.
Use wood blocks to hold the blade in position.
3. Set the skid shoes so that they are in contact with the
ground and tighten the skid shoe nuts.

Lift Height Adjustment

To adjust the lift height:
1. Fully raise the attachment lift and shut off the engine.
Set the parking brake and remove the key.
2. Loosen the nuts (C, Figure 4).
3. Turn the lift height bolts (D) until the dozer blade is at
the desired height and level.
4. Hold the lift height bolts (D) in position and lock in
place with the nuts (C).

Downward Pressure Adjustment

1. Fully lower the attachment lift and shut off the engine.
Set the parking brake and remove the key.
2. Turn the nuts (E) evenly until the desired downward
force is achieved.
Do not "lock-up" the springs. The springs should
have some flex.
IMPORTANT NOTE
DO NOT OVER-COMPRESS THE SPRINGS.
In addition to providing downward pressure,
the springs are an elastic medium that
absorbs shocks caused by bumps and
cracks in ground surfaces. Over-compress-
ing the springs defeats this and may cause
damage to the unit.
