RUBBER
The heavy-duty rubber cutting edge on every Sno Pusher is both reversible and adjustable. On the SPL and SPB models this rubber is 1 ½” x 10” thick and on the SPS models the rubber is 1” x 6”.
To ensure several years of service perform periodic inspections and adjustments following these simple guidelines:
IMPORTANT: A warm piece of rubber is much easier to adjust than one that is cold. It is highly recommended that your machine be placed in a warm place whenever making adjustments.
1.Always begin by placing the Sno Pusher on a smooth, flat surface when making any adjustments. Then place a ¼ inch object under the wear shoes to raise the Sno Pusher a ¼ inch above the level surface.
2.Loosen all bolts fastening the rubber to the Sno Pusher. It is NOT necessary to completely remove the bolts.
3.Using a large mallet or pry bar, adjust the rubber so that the rear, bottom edge just touches the ground.
4.Once rubber is properly positioned begin tightening the bolts. Starting in the center, work toward the side plates tightening the bolts enough to create a substantial bow in the 4” flatstock hold down.
IMPORTANT: We recommend using a ¾” impact gun to ensure proper bolt torque (120 ft-lb).
WEAR SHOES
Need new shoes? Every Sno Pusher is equipped with two High-carbon Alloy Wear Shoes that are bolted-on and replaceable to provide seasons of use by offering superior protection against wear and tear.
When replacement is required, follow these guidelines:
IMPORTANT: Wear shoes are very heavy; please use caution during the removal and installation.
1.Raise your Sno Pusher off the ground and secure the unit under the lower rear receptacle posts and the side plate reinforcement angles using dunnage or jack standards.
2.Loosen all six bolts fastening the wear shoe to the unit and carefully remove.
3.Position new wear shoe on left side and right side.
4.Install bolts, washers and locking nuts. Tighten bolts slightly, just enough to ensure that they won’t fall off.
5.Lower unit on level surface and torque bolts (120 ft-lb) securely into place.
Be sure to always use Pro-Tech replacement parts.
