DR Power 42 Grader/Snow Blade - Manual (Page 2)

Installation
Please refer to the drawing on other side.
1. Remove the brush mowing deck and blade drive belt. The blade drive belt should also be
completely removed from the engine pulley before installing the Grader/Snow Blade. Follow the
directions in your DR
® FIELD and BRUSH MOWER Safety & Operating Instructions .
2. Mount the swivel attachment (#1) to the Grader/Snow Blade (#2) using the bolt (#7), washer
(#5) and nut (#12) provided.
3. Mount the Grader/Snow Blade to the shaft on the power unit. Attach the original collar and pin
that came with your mower to secure it.
4. Adjust the two skids (#4) so the blade does not touch the ground. There should always be
clearance between the blade and the ground.
5. Adjust the angle of the blade (left, straight, or right) by moving the pin (#9) to the desired hole.
Operation
• The Grader/Snow Blade is designed to distribute loose gravel or dirt in small quantities and for
use in snow . Use with rocky or hard packed material could result in personal injury and/or
damage to the machine, and will void your DR
® FIELD and BRUSH MOWER warranty.
• We recommend you use DR ® Tire Chains (#156521) when using the Grader/Snow Blade for use
in snow. For more information on DR ® Tire Chains, visit our website (www.DRpower.com) or
call the Toll-Free number listed below.
• When plowing snow, adjust the skids so there is no ground contact with the blade. When grading,
adjust the height of the skids to provide an even distribution of material.
• Use 1 st or 2 nd gear only when using the Grader/Snow Blade.
• If material is wet or heavy, push with 1/2 the width of the blade on each pass. Adjust the amount
of material you try to move to the current conditions.
