3 Controls & Features Pivot Release Cable Lever Deck Lift Handle Shave Plate Blade Blade Pivot Release Cable Lever The blade is used to push snow/dirt/gravel, etc. and can be angled left or right and raised or lowered. The pivot release cable lever is used to change the angle of the blade. Squeeze the trigger against the handle and push forward on the blade pivot handle to angle the blade to the right or pull back on the blade pivot handle to angle it to the left.
4 Operation Operation WARNING! Before operating the tractor, familiarize yourself with the SAFE OPERATION PRACTICES in the rider manual starting on page 3. NOTE: The blade is designed for clearing snow, leveling soft dirt or sand and other light duty dozer jobs. The spring trip release protects the blade, tractor and operator from severe shock loads when the blade comes in contact with curbs and other obstacles. The blade has a reversible and replaceable cutting edge.
5 Maintenance & Adjustments Maintenance Shave Plate Lubrication If the shave plate becomes worn, reverse or replace the bar as follows (See Figure 5-2): Periodically lubricate the pivot points between the A-frame and pivot plate with a good grade of grease. Periodically spray lube the pivot latch components. Adjustments Skid Shoes NOTE: Adjust the skid shoes so the blade cutting edge just clears the pavement when being used for snow removal.
Trip Spring Maintain the proper trip spring tension as follows (See Figure 5-3): 3⁄8” Max Gap Figure 5-3 1. There should be a 3⁄8” max gap between the top of the spring and the upper lip of the blade. 2. Tighten or loosen the hex screws on top of the blade to obtain the proper gap. Assist Springs During operation, the lift handle is to be placed in the locked down position to prevent blade float in light snow conditions.
