Scraper Blade

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
become damaged.

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 22 for
recommended settings.
Drift Cutters
(Figure 15)
Drift cutters break up snow drifts that are
taller than the auger housing and direct the
snow into the auger. Store the drift cutters on
the auger housing when not in use. Install
them as shown in Figure 15 so they are taller
than the snow to be cleared.
