If your snow thrower did not act as described in the last
three steps, its drive control requires adjustment.
Follow the steps below to adjust the drive control.

the cable one turn. Recheck adjustment and repeat
as necessary.
9. Tighten the jam nut to secure the cable when
correct adjustment is reached.
NOTE: Cables are out of adjustment if augers continue
to turn when auger clutch is released and/or machine
continues to run when drive clutch is released. For
more details, refer to page 17.
Skid Shoe
Locate shave plate and skid shoes in Figure 10. The
space between this shave plate and ground can be
adjusted. For close snow removal, place skid shoes in
the low position. Use middle or high position when area
to be cleared is uneven. See Figure 9.
CAUTION: It is not recommended that you operate this
snow thrower on gravel as loose gravel can be easily
picked up and thrown by the auger causing personal
injury or damage to the snow thrower.
However, if you have to operate the snow thrower on
gravel, keep the skid shoe in the highest position for
maximum clearance between ground and shave plate.
1. Adjust skid shoes by loosening the four hex nuts
and carriage bolts and moving skid shoes to
desired position. See Figure 9.
2. Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid shoe
is against the ground to avoid uneven wear on the
skid shoes.
3. Tighten nuts and bolts securely.
