SETTING UP INSTRUCTIONS -- Continued
Setting-Up and Operating Instructions should be studied very closely before beginning to
assemble your Snowplow. A number at the beginning of a paragraph in the following instructions
refers to an arrow in the adjoining figure except when otherwise stated. When R.H. (Right
Hand) and L.H. (Left Hand) are used, it should be understood to mean from a position behind
and facing the Snowplow (or direction of travel).
Each Snowplow is given a thorough inspection before shipment, however, it is very important that it be again thoroughly checked at the time of receipt, to ascertain if any damage
has occurred in transit. A standard Snowplow shipment consists of the following package:
One Bundle Number 575x169 Rotary Snowplow
OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
One Bundle Number 575x170 Slow Speed Pulley for any David Bradley Garden Tractor
equipped with Speed Changer.
One Bundle Number 575x171 Slow Speed Pulleys for Super Power and other David
Bradley Garden Tractors not equipped with Speed Changer.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR ASSEMBLING SNOWPLOW
Install slow speed pulley, (Bundle Number 575x170 or 575x171), per instructions furnished with pulley.
Remove the unit from the carton. Cut wires on scoop and remove the chainguard and mounting frame.
1. See inset B. Remove the two runners from the back side of the mounting frame and attach
them to the scoop with the clips at the rear of the scraping edge. The adjusting strap of
the runner attaches to the outer face of the runner support.
2. Attach the mounting frame to the scoop with four bolts as shown.
3. Refer to inset D. Install the roller chain on the sprockets as shown, and adjust until it
feels snug when depressed at the middle with the thumb. Lock this adjustment by tightening
the bolt through the two idler arms.
4. Attach the chain guard to scoop and bracket on drive shaft tube.
5. Attach the deflector to the discharge spout. To do this it is necessary to remove the guide
clips from the deflector so that it can be mounted with the spout extending up into the
deflector. After the deflector is in place, replace the guide clips so that they engage the
flange of the spout. Be sure that all clips are free on the flange of the spout so that it
will be easy to rotate the deflector.
6. Refer to inset C. Drive locator pin into handle spacer of tractor from the underside
until flush with underside of handle spacer. Mount control handle for snowplow on tractor
handle spacer and locating pin. Slip control handle retainer in from the right and bend
the tabs down to hold it in place.
7. Assemble clutch control rod and secure with coupling pin in intermost hole of the upper
control rod.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR ASSEMBLING SNOWPLOW TO TRACTOR
8. Loosen nuts on welded mounting bolts. Slide snowplow into position on motor base plate.
Place belt on clutch and motor pulley and adjust belt by sliding snowplow forward. Proper
adjustment of belt is 1/4 inch sag with a slight thumb pressure on belt. Tighten nuts securely on belt side of mounting frame and then on opposite side. These nuts must be kept
tight to prevent belt from slipping.
9. Inset C. Attach clutch control rod to control handle on tractor handle.
10. Inset A.Remove the outer nut and washer from the control rod. CAUTION: Do not remove the
spacer or inner washer from the control rod. Insert the control rod and spacer in the
clutch yoke arm. Replace the outer washer and nut. NOTE: Adjustment of the clutch is controlled by these nuts and washers. Do not turn the outer nut on rod more than flush with
the end of the rod until you have read the section of this manual on the adjustment of the
clutch, page 5.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Although this Snowplow is simple to operate and care for it is important that instructions, as outlined in this manual, be studied and followed very closely. Only by following
these suggestions can satisfactory performance and long service be obtained. We suggest that
you keep this manual for future reference.
INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING
Wax the inside of the deflector and spout with a hard auto wax, (Allstate or any other
good wax). This will let the snow slide easier.
CAUTION: Be careful not to direct the snow towards windows or persons since small rocks
which can be picked up by the impeller could cause damage or injury.
Be sure to clean all snow and ice from around the chain and sprockets after each use to
prevent them from becoming frozen fast.
Keep all bolts and nuts tightened securely.
CAUTION: KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM IMPELLER, DRIVE BELT AND CHAIN WHILE ENGINE IS RUNNING.
LUBRICATION
EVERY HOURDrive Shaft (figure C, Illust. 27)1 place 2 shots grease
EACH SEASONImpeller and Clutch Pulley -- Use Allstate or any other
good grade of SAE 20 motor oil.
OPERATING SPEED
The Impeller should be operated at full speed at all times. A partial swath may be taken
in difficult conditons if necessary to maintain the impeller speed. For best performance it is
desirable to keep the volume of snow being handled at a maximum and still not pull the speed
of the engine down.
HEIGHT OF CUT
On smooth sidewalks and concrete driveways the runners can be set in the lowermost hole
so that the scoop will scrape the walk. On gravel drives or rough sidewalks, the runners
should be set in the center hole so that the scoop will not catch on obstructions. Under very
adverse conditions it may be necessary to set the runners in the uppermost hole on the adjusting strap. (See Figure A, Inset B).
DEFLECTOR
The deflector can be positioned to throw the snow to either the right or left or at an
angle of 45 degrees forward of the right or left. This is accomplished by pulling up on the
plunger, figure A, on the rear of the deflector and rotating it to the desired position. At
this point the plunger is released to engage a notch in the flange of the spout to hold the
deflector in that position.
DRIVE BELT
Keep enough tension on the belt to avoid slippage under normal loads. This will be
equivalent to 1/4 inch sag with a slight thumb pressure on the belt midway between the
sheaves.
CHAIN
Keep roller chain tight enough to avoid any noticeable sag in either strand when the
impeller is at rest. To tighten, loosen the bolt which goes through the upper and lower idler
arms and push the lower idler arm down while oscillating the impeller. When the lower idler
arm is down as far as possible, tighten securely with the bolt through the idler arms. Refer
to figure A, inset D, Illustration number 3.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
CLUTCH
FIGURE B
The clutch of the Rotary Snowplow is a double plate friction type mounted directly on
the drive shaft. With average use and care it will last indefinitely. However, extreme roughness, exposure, and carelessness, will result in damage, therefore, the following instructions
are given for adjustment and repair.
ADJUSTMENT
Adjustment of the clutch is controlled by two nuts and two washers, one each on either
side of the spacer on the clutch control rod, Figure C, Illustrations 51 and 55. With the
clutch control lever in the disengaged position turn the adjusting nuts, Figure C, Illustration 37, on to the control rod far enough to release the clutch. The throwout lever, Figure B,
Illustration 51, should float between the two washers on the spacer when the control rod is in
the engaged position. The action of this clutch is approximately 3/64 of an inch. Each time
the Snowplow is removed and reattached to the tractor or if the drive belt is adjusted for
tension, the clutch must be readjusted. When using the tractor for belt work with the Snowplow
attached remove the drive belt.
CAUTION: Keep clutch adjusted properly to prevent Snowplow from slipping into gear. Keep
hands away from impeller, drive belt and chain, while engine is running.
After the Snowplow has been in operation for some time, the clutch facings, Figure B,
Illustration 43, may become glazed or covered with grease and oil causing slippage. To repair,
remove the facings (See instructions for removing as given under the Replacement and Repairs
Section of this Manual), and in the event of glazing, a good wire brushing, applied to the
facings will break up the glaze and restore normal operation. In the event a covering of
grease or oil causes the slippage, wash the facings in gasoline or kerosene and wipe dry. If
this does not correct condition, clutch facings should be replaced.
REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR
The following Illustration Numbers refer to Figure B unless otherwise stated.
FACINGS
