Safety Rules & Information Read these safety rules and follow them closely. Failure to obey these rules could result in loss of control of unit, severe personal injury or death to you, or bystanders, or damage to property or equipment. The triangle in text signifies important cautions or warnings which must be followed. PREPARATION GENERAL WARNINGS ● Disengage the PTO before making any adjustments. ● Never attempt to make any adjustments while engine is running.
Features & Controls CONTROL FUNCTIONS A The information below briefly describes the function of individual controls. Operating the tractor and dozer require the combined use of these controls and additional controls whose operation is described in the tractor Operator’s Manual. B Please take a moment and familiarize yourself with the name, location, and function of these controls so that you will better understand the safety and operating instructions provided in this manual. Figure 1.
General Operating Instructions Checks Before Starting WARNING 1. Refer to the Maintenance & Adjustments sections of this manual and perform any needed service. Also, refer to the tractor Operator’s Manual and perform any required service. Perform the Safety System Interlock test found in your tractor Operator’s Manual. If tractor does not pass the test, do not operate the tractor. See your authorized dealer. Under no circumstances should you attempt to defeat the safety system. 2.
General Operating Instructions Changing Angle of the Blade: Snow Plowing Tips See Figure 1 for location of Controls. • Determine the best snow removal pattern before beginning. NOTE: It is easier to change the angle of the blade with the attachment raised. • Plan the pattern so that you avoid pushing snow onto cleared areas. 1. Raise the attachment lift. • When land contour permits, it is best to travel in the longest direction to minimize turning. 2.
Maintenance WARNING Lubricate Dozer Blade To avoid serious injury, perform maintenance on the tractor or dozer blade only when the engine is stopped, parking brake is set and all moving parts have stopped. Always remove the ignition key before beginning maintenance or adjustments to prevent accidental starting of the engine. Lubricate the dozer blade as shown in Figure 2. Where an oil can is shown, wipe the area clean, apply a few drops of oil (SAE 30), then wipe up drips or spills.
Adjustments Skid Shoe Adjustment Slotted holes are provided to permit adjustment of the shoe assemblies for raising and lowering the blade to various working heights (see Figure 3). When cleaning snow from gravel or earth drives or walks, the shoe assemblies should be lowered fully to prevent blade contact with gravel or ground. When cleaning smooth hard surfaces like concrete, the shoe assemblies are normally placed fully up to allow the blade to scrape the surface.
Adjustments Lift Rod Adjustment In the fully raised position the blade should be 6” off the ground. In the fully lowered position, the lift rod should slightly compress the spring creating downward pressure on the blade. D C B NOTE: Always adjust the lift height before and after adjusting the downward pressure. A IMPORTANT NOTE DO NOT OVER-COMPRESS THE SPRINGS. In addition to providing downward pressure, the springs are an elastic medium that absorbs shocks caused by bumps and cracks in ground surfaces.
