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. Remove any objects from the work area which might  
interfere with plowing activity.  
Use caution when plowing a snow covered area.  
Snow can cover objects such as curbs, drop-offs,  
and other obstacles. Be familiar with the area you  
are plowing.  
3. Adjust the skid shoes to desired height. See Skid  
Shoe Adjustment.  
4. Make sure all hardware is present and secure.  
To prevent an explosion or fire, never store the  
tractor with fuel in the tank inside a building  
where an ignition source is present.  
Engine & Ground Speed Selection  
Always run the engine at full throttle.  
Set tractor speed to obtain the needed power to move  
material. Operate at a safe speed, depending on condi-  
tions, so that you have complete control of the tractor.  
Rear wheel weights and chains are recommended for  
slippery surfaces.  
IMPORTANT NOTE  
To prevent damage to the unit, always  
raise the dozer blade BEFORE turning or  
backing up.  
A weight box is recommended for additional traction.  
DANGER  
OPERATING ON SLOPES CAN BE DANGEROUS  
Transporting  
For maximum ground clearance, transport the blade to  
and from work areas fully raised and angled straight  
ahead.  
Never operate on slopes greater than 17.6% (10°)  
which is a rise of 3-1/2 feet (106cm) vertically in  
10 feet (607cm) horizontally.  
Operate the unit at a slow ground speed when  
driving onto slope. Avoid using brakes to control  
ground speed.  
Starting & Stopping  
1. Start the tractor engine. Set engine throttle to full.  
2. Raise the attachment lift and travel to the work site.  
3. Set the angling control to the desired angle.  
4. Lower the attachment lift and begin plowing.  
5. Raise the plow before backing up.  
When operating on slopes that are greater than  
15 % (8.5°) but less than 17.6%, use additional  
wheel weights or counterweights.  
In addition to counterweights, use extra caution  
when operating on slopes. Drive UP and DOWN  
the slope, never across the face, use caution  
when changing directions and DO NOT START  
OR STOP ON SLOPE.  
6. To stop the tractor, set ground speed to neutral and  
set the parking brake. Before leaving the seat, stop  
the engine, set the parking brake, remove the key,  
and wait for all moving parts to stop.  
For additional traction, tire chains and a weight  
box can be added. Maximum weight added to  
tractor should not exceed 35 lbs. per wheel and  
100 additional lbs. in weight box.

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 long  
straight lines to minimize turning.  
2. Use an abrupt pushing/pulling motion to release the  
angling mechanism and move the blade left or right.  
Push the angling lever forward fully to lock the blade  
in the left position. Pull the lever fully back to lock the  
blade in the right position. Move the lever slowly over  
center to lock in the centered position.  
• In very deep or heavy snow, it may be necessary to  
make the first pass with dozer blade partially raised,  
then repeat each pass with the blade lowered to clear  
the material left on the surface. Also, it may be nec-  
essary to clear less than the full width of the dozer  
blade or reduce ground speed.  
Dozing Tips  
• Snow tends to freeze into solid banks when plowed  
off a driveway or other large area. Because of this  
you may want to plow snow several feet past the  
edge of the drive to allow space for future plowing to  
build up.  
• Determine the best dozing pattern before beginning.  
• When land contour permits, it is best to travel in the  
longest direction to minimize turning.  
• In very deep snow or gravel, it may be necessary to  
make the first pass with dozer blade partially raised,  
then repeat each pass with the blade lowered to clear  
the material left on the surface. Also, it may be nec-  
essary to clear less than the full width of the dozer  
blade or reduce ground speed.  
• If pushing snow past the edges of driveways or side-  
walks, be careful not to tear up the grass buried  
under snow next to the drive or sidewalk. Lift the  
blade several inches off the ground to avoid damag-  
ing the grass.  
• Spinning tires with tire chains can leave unsightly  
marks or permanent damage to asphalt or concrete  
driveways or sidewalks. Avoid sudden stops or  
starts.  
• When dozing, push the dirt to the desired location,  
then drag the blade backwards for final leveling. Pack  
down the dirt or gravel by driving the tractor over the  
leveled area.  
• Use any slight grade to your advantage, doze down-  
hill, and set the blade angle so that the plowed mater-  
ial is moving downhill as it leaves the blade.  
Storage  
Off-Season Storage  
IMPORTANT NOTE  
Refer to Tractor Operator’s Manual for  
important information concerning safely  
storing your tractor.  
1. Remove dozer blade and hitch from the tractor.  
2. Use water pressure or a brush to thoroughly clean  
the dozer blade.  
3. Paint, or lightly coat with oil, any area where paint  
has been worn or chipped away.  
Daily Storage  
4. Lubricate the dozer blade.  
1. Allow tractor engine to cool before storing in any  
enclosure.  
5. Store the dozer blade and hitch in a dry place.  
2. After dozing or plowing jobs are completed, hose or  
brush down the blade to remove excess dirt.  
3. Lightly oil all pivot points. Coat bare metal surfaces to  
prevent corrosion.

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.  
In general, linkage connections and other parts that have  
partial rotational or sliding movement should be lubricat-  
ed periodically with SAE 30 weight oil. Avoid applying  
excessive amounts of oil since this may cause a build-up  
of dirt around the lubricated area, making subsequent  
lubrication more difficult to accomplish.  
Schedule For Normal Care  
Care Required  
Schedule  
Clean debris from  
dozer blade.  
After each use.  
Lubricate dozer blade.  
Every 10 hours or at  
least once a year.

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.  
To adjust the skid, raise the blade off the ground and  
block with a piece of wood. Loosen the bolts (B, Figure  
3) and move the skid shoes (A) up or down to desired  
height. Tighten the bolts securely.  
Figure 3.  
A. Skid Shoes  
B. Bolts  
Spring Tension  
See Figure 4. This snow plow/dozer blade is spring  
loaded so that when the blade strikes a solid object, the  
springs will allow the blade to release as shown, rather  
than cause damage. The blade will go back to its original  
position after object is cleared.  
Figure 4. Dozer Blade “Released”  
See Figure 5. To adjust spring tension hold rear nut (B)  
and loosen front nut (E). Tighten rear nut (B) to increase  
spring tension, or loosen to decrease tension.  
For initial adjustment, tighten nut (B) on each eyebolt  
enough to expose about 3/4" (19mm) of thread. Tighten  
front nut (E) against rear nut (B) to lock adjustment in  
place.

Adjustments  
Lift Rod Adjustment  
In the fully raised position the blade should be 4”-5” off  
the ground. In the fully lowered position, the lift rod  
should compress the spring creating downward pressure  
on the blade.  
D

B
E
LIFT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT  
A
1. Fully raise the attachment lift. The attachment should  
be approximately 4”-5” off the ground. If not, go to  
step 2.  
2. Lower the attachment and adjust the front set collar  
(A, Figure 6) to achieve the correct lift height.  
DOWNWARD PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT  
1. Place the lift in the fully raised position.  
Figure 6. Adjusting Lift Rod  
A. Front Set Collar  
B. Rod Guide  
C. Spring  
D. Rear Set Collar  
E. Spring Clip  
2. Slide the spring (C, Figure 6) forward so it is against  
the front set collar (A). Slide the rear set collar (D) up  
against the back of the spring. Use the rear set collar  
to compress the spring slightly, then tighten the set  
screw.  
IMPORTANT NOTE  
DO NOT OVER-COMPRESS THE SPRING.  
In addition to providing downward pressure,  
the spring is an elastic medium that absorbs  
shocks caused by bumps and cracks in  
ground surfaces. Over-compressing the  
spring defeats this and may cause damage  
to the unit.

LIFT VARIATIONS WHEN USING  
ATTACHMENTS  
When a front-mounted attachment such as a snowthrow-  
er or dozer blade is used with the tractor, the lift mecha-  
nism must be locked to provide downward force. When  
the mower is reinstalled the downward pressure lock  
must be released so that the mower can float.

Hydraulic Lift Models  
NOTE: These instructions apply to Conquest / 1700 /  
2700 Series tractors or Broadmoor / 1600 / 2600 Series  
tractors equipped with a lift lever kit.  
When using a snowthrower or dozer, the downward  
pressure lock plate (D, Figure 16) and an additional pin  
(C) is installed. These parts are included with the attach-  
ment. Note that the washers (G) are not used with the  
lock plate.  
The lift link is installed differently depending on what  
attachment is being used. Refer to Figure 17 for link  
installation information.  
When mowing, the downward pressure lock plate (D) is  
removed and replaced with two washers (G). The addi-  
tional pin (C) is also removed.  
Fully lower the hydraulic lift. The lift assembly is spring  
loaded so it will need to be held in the down position to  
perform of the following procedures.
