Adjusting the Skid Shoe Height
DANGER
This snowthrower contains a rotating auger that collects snow.
Fingers can quickly become caught and traumatic amputation
or severe laceration will result.
• Turn the engine OFF, wait for all moving parts to stop,
and remove the ignition key or push/pull key before
maintenance or repairs.
WARNING
If struck by the auger or impeller, objects such as gravel, rocks,
or other unwanted material can be thrown with sufficient force
to cause personal injury, property damage, or damage to the
snowthrower.
Skid shoes are attached to each side of the auger housing.
They can be adjusted to increase or decrease the distance
between the scraper bar and the surface to be cleared.
Set the skid shoes at the correct height to keep ground
clearance for the type of surface being cleared.
1. Stop the engine and remove the key.
2. Find the scraper bar clearance needed for the surface to
be cleared.
• During snow removal from hard surface areas, such as
paved driveways or walkways, adjust the skid shoes
up to lower the scraper bar closer to the surface.
• During snow removal from gravel-covered or uneven
surfaces, adjust the skid shoes down to raise the
scraper bar from the surface. This will help prevent
rocks and other unwanted material from being picked
up and thrown by the auger and impeller.
3. Put the unit on a level surface.
4. Loosen the skid shoe mounting nuts (A, Figure 20) on the
skid shoe (B).
