To Adjust Blade Spring
The tension of the blade adjust spring is adjustable to
permit blade to tilt forward to by-pass solid obstructions.
To change spring tension (standing in front of blade
assembly), adjust the nuts at upper end of the spring
bolt, turning counter clockwise to relieve tension and
clockwise to increase tension. See figure 15 on page 8.
To Adjust Blade Shoes
Blade shoes on ends of blade may be raised for close
work on smooth surfaces or lowered to raise the blade
to work on rough or uneven areas. Make sure both shoes
are set evenly and nuts are tightened securely. See
figure 24.

TROUBLESHOOTING POINTS
1. Extension spring is broken/missing.
2. Lift mechanism is binding
1. Handle tube is binding on lift rod.
2. Loose flow control gauge
1. Lock mechanism is not disengaging.
To Adjust the Blade Pivot Lock Mechanism
If the blade will not unlock and pivot, the angle lock
bars are not disengaging from slots in pivot plate. To
correct this condition, adjust the 5/16" hex jam nuts to
draw the end of the control cable back towards the
welded cable mount ear on the handle tube. The less
the end of the cable extends through the ear, the more
the angle lock bars can retract to disengage from the
slots in the pivot plate. See figure 25.
