Good maintenance is your responsibility. Poor maintenance is an invitation to trouble.
To keep your SB series snow blade in good working condition, and increase pin life, periodic lubrication is essential.
Servicing the grease points also helps to flush out moisture and dirt.
By following a careful service and maintenance program for your snow blade, you will enjoy many years of trouble-free
operation.
Replacement of parts should be done by
qualified personnel only. Ensure scheduled inspections and maintenance are
performed. Keep a record of all maintenance.
General Maintenance
On a regular basis check all nuts, bolts and screws and ensure they are all properly secured.
On a regular basis check the condition of all hydraulic lines, hoses and fittings. Replace any that are damaged. Re-route
those that are rubbing, pinched or crimped. Tighten any fitting that is leaking. Ensure fittings are clean and free of dirt.
Hydraulic Oil
Hydraulic oil is an important part of your snow blade. Monitoring your hydraulic oil will prevent hydraulic failures and
result in long lasting equipment with good performance. Hydraulic oil level in the power unit should be checked daily, and
the quality of the oil should be inspected every 50 hrs. If the oil is dirty or smells burnt, it should be replaced. Be sure to
relieve the system of pressure before performing any service to the system. (see your power unit owner manual)

Hydraulic Oil Hazard
Personal injury can result from hydraulic oil pressure and hot oil. .Hydraulic oil pressure
can remain in the hydraulic system after the engine has been stopped. Serious injury can
be caused if this pressure is not released before any service is done on the hydraulic
system. Make sure all of the attachments have been lowered and the oil is cool before
removing any components or lines. All hydraulic parts replacement should be performed
by
qualified personnel.
