or down. Be sure to tighten both wing nuts after position¬
ing the deflector. See Figure 6.
This deflector position supplements the engine speed
control to control throwing distance. The highest position
provides the greatest throwing distance. Most snow moving
can be done with the deflector all of the way up by using
the engine speed lever to control the throwing distance.
Hold the rear of the deflector down while tightening the
wing nuts to make sure that all of the snow goes out of the
chute.

SKID SHOE ADJUSTMENT
While we are at the
front of the Sno-Away, let's check the skid shoe adjust¬
ment.
Your Sno-Away has hardened steel adjustable skid
shoes. Their large area supports the front of the Sno-Away
above even a gravel surface.
Figure 7.
GRAVEL SURFACE USE ADJUSTMENT
If you will be clearing a gravel surface loosen the nuts, see
figure 7, raise the front of the Sno-Away and drop the skid
shoes all of the way down. Set the bottom surface of the
skid shoes so thay are level or slightly (maximum of 1/8")
higher in the front and tighten the nuts securely. Repeat
these steps for the skid shoe on the other side. Check to
make sure that with the Sno-Away resting on the skid shoes
and the wheels, that the skid shoes are even with each other.
The Sno-Away will now be supported on the skid shoes so
the scraper bar can skim the snow from the surface and
leave the stones on your driveway instead of throwing them
on your lawn.
HARD SURFACE USE ADJUSTMENT
Loosen the nuts and rest the Sno-Away on a hard level sur¬
face. The Sno-Away should now be supported on the tires,
and skid shoes with the scraper bar resting on the surface.
Tighten the nuts on both skid shoes taking care that their
position doesn't change while the nuts are tightened. The
full width scraper bar on your Sno-Away will now get down
to "bed rock" and leave the surface clean.

THE TRACTION DRIVE LOCK PLATE is standard
equipment on your Sno-Away - an extra cost option on
most other snow throwers.
In the locked position both
wheels propel the Sno-Away straight ahead even on icy sur¬
faces or through uneven snow.
It can be unlocked for
easily turning the Sno-Away on dry surfaces.
This plate is located on the left wheel of the
Sno-Away.
TO RELEASE THE LOCK PLATE so that the wheels
can rotate independently, grasp the lock plate and pull it
toward you, as far as it goes. NOTE: It may be necessary to
push the Sno-Away back and forth slightly to pull the
plate out of engagement with the pins.
Now rotate the
plate in either direction until the solid area of the plate rests
against the pins. The plate will stay out and the Sno-Away
can be turned easily.
TO LOCK THE PLATE IN SOLID AXLE POSITION
just rotate it until the pins line up with the holes - a spring
will snap it into the drive position. NOTE: On occasion the
Sno-Away will have to move a short distance before the
lock plate will fully engage the axle.
Now that you know how the Sno-Away can SIMPLIFY
your life, let's prepare it for operation and start it up.
