Chute Ring
The UHMW ring requires no lubrication. However it
must be inspected for wear. The distance between
the chute and the base should always be about 1/2".
If wear is found, a shim kit can be purchased from
your local Schulte dealer. To install the shim kit:
1. Remove the 5/8" bolts holding the guide sleeves
to the chute base.
2. Remove the 1/4" locknuts fixing the UHMW to
the chute.
3. Safely lift the chute and install the shims onto the
UHMV, around the brass bolts.
4. Lower the chute onto the shims and reinstall the
1/4" locknuts.
5. Reinstall the guide sleeves and tighten the 5/8"
bolts to 80 ft.-lbs (108 Nm). Do not overtighten.
The guide sleeves should be able to be turned
by hand.
NOTE: If excessive wear is found, replace the UHMW ring. The guide sleeves must be inspected for wear as
well. If wear on the brass bushing or outer sleeve is found, please replace.
REVERSING OR REPLACING BLADE
1. Occasionally check the blade for wear. If the blade has worn to the point where the mouldboard is starting
to wear then reverse it or replace it.
2. Remove the carriage bolts which attach the blade. Reverse or replace the blade.
NOTE: If the locknuts are damaged or worn replace them also.
Drum
1. The UHMW bearing holding the drum in place at the front of the plow requires no lubrication. If excessive
wear is found on this bearing, i.e. the drum moves more than 1/8" laterally in one direction, the UHMW
should be replaced.
2. The Nylatron bearing at the rear of the drum requires no lubrication. If excessive wear is found on this
bearing, i.e. the drum moves more than 1/8" laterally in one direction, the Nylatron bearing should be
replaced.
STORAGE
1.
Wash any dirt or salt off the snow blower.
2.
Remove drive chains and submerse in oil.
3.
Smear grease over any exposed hydraulic cylinder shafts.
NUTS AND BOLTS
Check all nuts and bolts for tightness after the first 5 hours of operation, then yearly.
Shear bolts should not be over tightened, as this may cause unpredictable shearing
action.
