Operator’s Manual City Ranger 2250 Snow V-blade
Introduction
!

3
The snow V-blade uses the tip of the ‘V’ to cut through
heavy and encrusted snow, separating and pushing it to
both sides. Even large amounts of snow are removed with
ease.
The V-blade can also be congured as a ‘Y’ to allow
snow to be transported away – very useful in car parks,
markets, enclosed courtyards and other locations where
snow needs to be gathered in one place.
The snow V-blade is equipped as standard with a safety
tilt system to protect paths and the machine.
The V-blade support has sideways suspension, so that the
snow V-blade always adjusts to ground conditions.
Useful tips
Adjust the skids to suit ground conditions. If there are a lot
of raised edges, set the skids high so they do not cut into
the edges.
Use the snow V-blade for big drifts. The snow V-blade
removes most of the snow and then the snow sweeper
nishes o the job.
Ensure the snap couplings are clean before tting, as this
protects the hydraulic system.
Daily cleaning and maintenance will extend the lifetime of
both the machine and the attachment.

position. The attachment can now be lowered again. (Picture 2)
2.3 Start-up
1. Start the machine.
2. Lower the snow V-blade by moving the joystick down.
(Picture 3)
3. Activate the weight distribution with the red button on
the joystick (Picture 4). The snow V-blade will now adjust
to ground conditions. To adjust the weight distribution
read the operator’s manual for the basic City Ranger 2250
machine.
4. Turn the left blade of the snow V-blade by moving the
joystick to the left or to the right. When the joystick is
moved to the right, the blade swings forwards.

Attention!
Make sure no one is standing close to the
machine while it is in use.
N.B!
When turning, the rear of the machine
swings out so there is a risk of crushing or
collision.
Warning!
Collision with solid obstacles – such as
kerbstones – may damage the snow
V-blade. This damage may cause bolts
to snap or parts of the snow V-blade to
bend. Damage of this type is not covered
by the warranty.
2.4 Adjustment
Adjust the skids to the ground conditions.
If there are a lot of raised edges set the skids high so they
do not cut into the edges.
Adjusting the scraping height:
1. Raise the snow V-blade by pulling the joystick up.
(Picture 1)
2. Lock the snow V-blade in the raised position using the
transport lock. (Picture 2)
3. Stop the machine.
4. Remove the locking ring on the skid. (Picture 3)
Adjust the skid height by moving washers up or down.

3.1 Cleaning
Daily cleaning and maintenance will extend the lifetime of
both the machine and the attachment.
After use clean the snow V-blade with clean water.
Avoid high pressure cleaning of the snap couplings.
Open the ap over the snap couplings. Use pressurised air
to clean around the snap couplings. The couplings can be
dried with a cloth (Picture 1). It is important the couplings
are intact before the attachment is tted.
3.2 Maintenance
Lubricating the bearings:
The bearings in the pivot joint of the snow V-blade should
be greased regularly with good quality grease.
1. Stop the machine.
2. Clean the lubricating nipples and lubricate the bearings
until the grease starts to come out of the bearing.
(Picture 2)
There are ve lubrication nipples in the centre swivel.
There are four lubrication nipples on the cylinder.
