ice from the chute assembly or auger housing
Skid Shoe
WARNING: It is not recommended that you operate
this snowthrower on gravel as loose gravel can be
easily picked up and thrown by the auger causing
personal injury or damage to the snowthrower.
For close snow removal, place skid shoes in the low position. If you
choose have to operate the snowthrower on gravel, keep the skid shoe
in the highest position for maximum clearance between the ground
and the shave plate.
1. Adjust skid shoes by loosening two hex nuts and carriage bolts on
each skid shoe, and moving the skid shoe to the desired position.
See Figure 6.
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.

Replacement auger shear pins and cotter
pins are provided for your convenience.
Store these safely until needed.
