The scraper blade allows better contact with
the surface being cleared. It also prevents
damage to the housing from normal usage.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT allow scraper blade to
wear too far or auger/impeller housing will

Skid Shoes
The skid shoes control the distance between
the scraper blade and the ground. Adjust skid
shoes equally to keep blade level with the
ground. Refer to Pre-Start on page 19 for
