Adjustments Lift Rod See Figure 17. For initial setting, place front set collar (A) one inch from rod guide with blade fully lowered. Place rear set collar (B) against spring (C). Tighten the setscrews in the two set collars.To adjust, perform the following: 1. Fully raise the blade by pulling back on the tractor lift lever. Measure distance between scraper bar and ground. If it measures approximately six inches, it is properly adjusted. If not, proceed to step 2. 2. Lower the blade.
Adjustments Spring Tension See Figure 19. This snow plow/dozer blade is spring loaded so that when the blade strikes a solid object, the springs will allow the blade to release as shown, rather than cause damage. The blade will go back to its original position after object is cleared. Figure 19. Dozer Blade “Released” See Figure 20. To adjust spring tension hold rear nut (B) and loosen front nut (E). Tighten rear nut (B) to increase spring tension, or loosen to decrease tension.
