Skid Shoes And Scraper - Honda HSS724A Owner's Manual

SERVICING YOUR SNOW BLOWER

SKID SHOES AND SCRAPER

To service, turn the engine switch to the OFF position and disconnect
the spark plug cap so the engine cannot be accidentally started while
you are near the auger.
The skid shoes are installed on the rear of the auger housing for track
models (AT, ATD) and on the side for wheel models (AW, AWD).
Loosen the bolts to move the skids, and then set the skids to the
convenient position and tighten the bolts securely.
Wheel models (AW, AWD):
For better clearing of hard packed snow, remove the side skid shoes
and install the included rear skid shoes to the auger housing.
Wear Inspection
1.Raise the auger housing off the ground.
2.Measure the thickness of the right and left skid shoes at their
thinnest point.
If the thickness of the skid contacting the ground surface is 0.02 in
(0.5 mm), turn the skid upside down.
Replace the skid if the thickness is less than 0.02 in (0.5 mm) after
turning the skid upside down.
Adjustment
1.Place the snow blower on a level
surface.
2.Track models: Depress the auger
height lever, push down on the
handlebars to raise the auger off
the ground and then slowly lower
the auger until the skid shoes
contact the ground.
3.Loosen the skid shoe bolts and adjust the skid shoes to obtain the
auger ground clearance for snow conditions recommended on next
page. Adjust the right and left skid shoes equally. Retighten the
bolts.
