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. Lower the snow blade and adjust the skid shoes to

achieve the correct plowing height.

2. Loosen the nuts (A, Figure 3) securing the skid shoes

(B).

3. Raise or lower the scraper bar to the desired height.

Use wood blocks to hold the snow blade in position.

4. Set the skid shoes so that they are in contact with the

ground and tighten the skid shoe nuts.

Lift Adjustment

In the fully raised position the attachment should be 4”-5”
off the ground.

LIFT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

1. Fully raise the snow blade. The snow blade should

be approximately 4”-5” off the ground. If not, go to
step 2.

2. Lower the snow blade to the ground.

3. Remove hairpin cotter pin (B, Figure 4) from the ball

joint (A) on the lift arm. Remove the lift arm from the
bell crank (C).

4. Loosen the ball joint lock nut (D) and rotate the ball

joint either counter clockwise to lower the travel
height or clockwise to increase the travel height.
Tighten the lock nut (D).

5. Reinstall the lift arm (A) onto the bell crank (C) and

secure with the hairpin cotter pin (B).

6. Raise the snow blade off the ground and check the

travel height.

7. Repeat as needed until the correct travel height

is set.
