•
For close snow removal on a smooth surface, raise skid shoes
higher on the auger housing.
•
Use a middle or lower position when the area to be cleared is
uneven, such as a gravel driveway.
NOTE: If you choose to operate the snow thrower on a gravel surface,
keep the skid shoes in position for maximum clearance between the
ground and the shave plate.
To adjust the skid shoes:
1.
Loosen the four hex nuts (two on each side) and carriage bolts.
Move skid shoes to desired position. See Figure 14.
2.
Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid shoe is against the
ground to avoid uneven wear on the skid shoes.
3.
Retighten nuts and bolts securely.
Auger Control
WARNING
Prior to operating your snow thrower, carefully read and follow all
instructions below. Perform all adjustments to verify your snow
thrower is operating safely and properly.
Check the adjustment of the auger control as follows:
1.
The auger control is located on the left handle. See Figure 15
inset. When the auger control is released and in the disengaged
"up" position, the cable should have very little slack. It should
NOT be tight.
2.
In a well-ventilated area, start the snow thrower engine. Refer to
Starting the Engine in the Operation section.
3.
While standing in the operator's position (behind the snow
thrower), engage the augers.
4.
Allow the augers to remain engaged for approximately ten (10)
seconds before releasing the auger control. Repeat this several
times.
5.
With the auger control in the disengaged "up" position, walk to the
front of the machine.
6.
Confirm that the augers have completely stopped rotating and
show NO signs of motion. If any auger shows ANY sign of
rotating, immediately return to the operator's position and shut off
the engine. Wait for ALL moving parts to stop before adjusting the
auger control.
7.
To readjust the control cable, loosen the upper hex bolt on the
auger cable bracket. See Figure 15.
8.
Position the bracket upward to provide more slack (or downward
to increase cable tension).
9.
Retighten the upper hex bolt.
10. Repeat steps 2-6 above to verify proper adjustment has been
achieved.
