Place guide stakes appropriately and remove stones, markers, or other debris that may be hidden after
a snowfall. Curbs, osets, steps, man hole covers, broken or raised pavement, etc. should be noted.
Operator’s should map areas to be cleared before the winter season so they can review potential hazards prior to clearing snow in the area.
• If an area is to be cleared that is unfamiliar to the operator, travel slowly and use EXTREME CAUTION.
Inquire of anyone who might know of potential hazards.
• Never travel at speeds that would cause injury to the operator or damage to the machine if the machine
were to be stopped suddenly by an unseen, immovable object.
• Always operate the blade with the safety trip mechanism in the unlocked position, unless digging in dirt
at very low speeds.
• Ensure that there are no objects between the back of the blade wings and the power unit. When wings
are folded or swept back, objects may be crushed between blade wing and power unit.
• The operator should never proceed if visibility is poor. If the power unit is equipped with a cab, the windshield must be kept clean.
• Use caution when operating around objects that can obstruct your vision.
• Attachment hydraulic system may contain stored energy. Before performing maintenance or repairs

OPERATIONAL CONTROLS
Operational Control Locations
Blade Trip Control
The blade trip control allows the blade to be locked
to the frame with a pin or unlocked which allows the
blade to trip when the blade hits an immovable object.
Unlocked
Locked
Blade Wing Angle
(Secondary S.D.L.A. Lever*)
The secondary S.D.L.A. lever* on the power unit
controls the angle of the blade wings. The blade
wings can be angled independently from 30° forward
to 30° backwards. The blade can be angled right
and left, swept back, and swept forward.
Blade Wing Selection
(12 Volt Switch*)
The 12 volt on/o switch* on the power unit is used
to control the 12 volt solenoid valve. The valve controls the selection of the left and right blade wings.
The unlocked position helps prevent sudden stops
caused when contact is made with sidewalk joints,
rocks, or other immovable objects. The unlocked
position should always be used for snow removal.
For heavy dozing, the pin can be installed in the
lockout hole to lock the blade trip mechanism. This
position should only be used for digging or scraping
at very slow speeds.
The V-blade will not trip with the pin in the locked
position. Power units with 2 speed transaxles
must be operated in low range. The machine
must be operated at very slow speed to prevent
personal injury or damage to the machine if an
immovable object is struck.

rial, resulting in a smooth nish. After spreading
material over the working area, back the power unit
over the area, dragging the blade to smooth and
level the material.
* Refer to power unit operator’s manual for operation of
power unit controls.
GENERAL OPERATION
Transport of V-blade
Transport the V-blade with the power unit front hitch
and V-blade raised to reduce wear of the machine
and to prevent the V-blade from catching on high
spots in the ground, rocks, or other obstacles. Travel
slowly when transporting over undulating or rough
surfaces to maintain control of power unit and to
reduce shock to the machine.
Blade Wing Angle Adjustment
When blade wings are being angled to the back,
pinch points are created. Make sure there are no
people or objects present between the blade and
the power unit.
The blade wings can be angled left or right to push
material to the sides. The blade wings can be swept
back for single pass clearing of sidewalks and paths.
The blade wings can be swept forward to clear areas
without the need for repeated clean up passes.
Angled Right Angled Left
Skid Shoe Adjustment
Skid shoes are provided to keep the cutting edge o
the surface to be cleared, especially when clearing
snow from gravel driveways or roadways.
The skid shoe height is determined by the placement
of spacer washers between the skid shoe and the
skid shoe mount. Extra spacer washers are stored on
top of the skid shoe mount.
1. Determine the number of spacer washers that need
to be moved to reach the desired skid shoe height.
When making adjustments with the V-blade
in the raised position, the V-blade must be
securely supported under the cutting edge with
blocks or jack stands.
Hydraulic drift or accidental release of hydraulic
pressure could allow the V-blade to lower and
trap a person or appendage, if the V-blade is not
securely supported.
2.
Raise the V-blade to the highest position and
adjust the blade wing angle until both wings are
perpendicular to the power unit. Support the Vblade securely with blocks or jack stands.
3. Remove the lynch pin (A) and the spacer washers
(B) from the top of the skid shoe mount.
A
Swept Back
Use the 12 volt switch on the power unit to select the
desired blade wing and move the secondary S.D.L.A.
lever to the left or right to angle the blade wing.
Swept Forward
Resetting the Blade Safety Trip
Pinching Hazard
If V-blade trips, the blade may suddenly return to
the operating position. Do not leave the operator’s
seat or attempt to reset the blade manually.
If the V-blade safety trip is activated but does not reset
itself, do not attempt to raise the V-blade. Slowly back
the power unit away from the obstacle. The blade will
return to the operating position when it is moved away
from the obstacle on which it is caught.

B
Add or remove
washers to adjust skid shoe
height.
4.
Remove the skid shoe from the bottom of the
skid shoe mount. Add or remove spacer washers
to reach the desired skid shoe height and insert
the skid shoe into the skid shoe mount. Place
any extra spacer washers on top of the skid shoe
mount and fasten the skid shoe in place with the
lynch pin. Both the right and left skid shoes should
be set at the same height.
5. Remove blocks or jack stands and lower the Vblade to the ground.
Operation - 17
SERVICE
Always set the parking brake, shut o power
unit engine, remove the ignition key, and ensure
all moving parts have come to a complete stop
before inspecting components or attempting any
repair or adjustment.
Attention
If any component requires replacement, use only
original Ventrac replacement parts.
Cleaning and General Maintenance
For best results, and to maintain the nish of the
KV552, clean or wash the V-blade to remove dirt,
gravel, and salt deposits. Remove any ice or snow
accumulations from the blade and frame.
Attention
To maintain the nish of the power unit and attachment, thoroughly wash the equipment after each
use to remove any corrosive agents (e.g., salt). Failure to clean the equipment may result in corrosion
of (including but not limited to) steel, aluminum, and
electrical components. Equipment that will experience repeated exposure to corrosive agents should
be pretreated with a corrosion preventative.
2. With the V-blade attached to the power unit and
the power unit parked on a level surface, adjust
both wings until they are straight out perpendicular to the power unit.
3. Disengage the power unit’s weight transfer system (if equipped).
4. Lower the V-blade to the ground and place the
power unit’s primary S.D.L.A. lever in the oat
position by pushing it to the right until the detent
engages.
5. Check to see if the cutting edges are making even
contact with the ground. If they are not making
even contact, raise the blade all the way up and
support securely with blocks or jack stands.
When making adjustments with the V-blade in the
raised position, the V-blade hitch frame must be
supported securely with blocks or jack stands.
Hydraulic drift or accidental release of hydraulic
pressure could allow the V-blade to lower and
trap a person or appendage, if the V-blade is not
securely supported.
6.
Loosen the 5) 1/2” bolts that fasten the center
frame to the center hinge shaft and the center
skid shoe.
Cutting Edge Reversal/Replacement
If the cutting edges wear down near the blade frame
structure, remove the cutting edges and ip over so
the unworn top edge is now on the bottom. Reinstall
the cutting edges onto the V-blade. When both sides
of the cutting edges have been worn down, the cutting edges will need to be replaced. Always reverse
or replace both cutting edges at the same time.
NOTE: It is normal for the forward edge of the cutting edges to wear faster than the rest of the cutting edge, if the V-blade is used extensively in the
swept forward position or in the left and right angled
positions. To help minimize this eect, make sure
the blade is level from side to side and that the skid
shoes are adjusted properly.
Skid Shoe Replacement
Skid shoes should be replaced when wear surface is
less then 1/8” thick.
Leveling Blade - Side to Side
1. Make sure the power unit tires are inated to the
correct pressure.
1/2” Bolts
7.
Sliding the center frame left or right in relationship
to the center hinge shaft will raise or lower the
outside corners of the blade wings. Moving the
bottom to the right will raise the right side of the
blade and lower the left side and moving it to the
left will do the opposite. It may be helpful to use
a jack or hoist to lift the appropriate side of the
blade and then tighten the 1/2” bolts.
8. Repeat steps 4 and 5. If blade is still not level,
repeat steps 6 and 7.
9. When the blade is level, tighten the 1/2” bolts to
80 ft-lbs (108 nm).
Service - 18
SERVICE
Leveling Blade - Front to Rear
1. Make sure the blade is level from side to side.
2. With the V-blade attached to the power unit and
the power unit parked on a level surface, adjust
both wings back into the swept back position.
3. Disengage the power unit’s weight transfer system (if equipped).
4. Lower the V-blade to the ground and place the
power unit’s primary S.D.L.A. lever in the oat
position by pushing it to the right until the detent
engages.
5. Check to see if the cutting edges are making
even contact with the ground. If they are not making even contact, loosen the jam nut (A) on the
adjusting bolt (B). NOTE: if the blade trip control
pin is in the locked position as shown below, it
must be removed prior to leveling the blade.

6.
Turn the adjusting bolt in to lower the outside
corners of the blades and turn the adjusting bolt
out to lower the front point of the blade.
7. When the cutting edges are making even contact with the ground, tighten the jam nut to 100
ft-lbs (136 nm).
8. Loosen the 2) 1/2” bolts (C) holding the lockout
plate to the hitch frame and slide the plate in the
mounting slots until the lockout hole is aligned
with the hole in the hitch frame. Use the lockout
pin to make sure the holes are aligned and the
lockout pin can be installed.
9. Tighten the 1/2” bolts to 80 ft-lbs (108 nm).
