Note: Use the slotted holes to position the skid height according to what type of surface you will be plowing. Position the skids lower for plowing rough surfaces or higher for plowing smoother surfaces.

frame and channel (Fig. 6).

6. Slide the blade channel assembly between the frame

mount and secure it with a bolt (3/4 x 3-3/4 inch) and locknut (3/4 inch) (Fig. 6).

Note: Do not tighten the nut and bolt excessively; this avoids binding on the channel weldment as it pivots from side to side.
