Adjustments
Skid Shoes
The snow thrower skid shoes are adjusted upward at the factory
for shipping purposes. Adjust them downward prior to operating
the snow thrower.
CAUTION:
this snow thrower on gravel as it can easily pick up and
throw loose gravel, causing personal injury or damage
to the snow thrower and surrounding property.
For close snow removal on a smooth surface, adjust the skid
shoes so that the shave plate on the bottom of the auger
housing is just off the ground.
Adjust the skid shoes to a lower position to raise the shave plate
off the ground when clearing uneven areas, or 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:
NOT
1. Adjust skid shoes by loosening the six (three on each side)
hex nuts, washers, and carriage bolts securing the skid
shoes to the auger housing. Refer to Figure 3-10.
2. While observing the distance between the shave plate and
the ground, adjust the skids shoes up or down to achieve
the desired shave plate height.
3. Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid shoes are
against the ground to avoid uneven wear on the skid shoes;
then tighten nuts and bolts securely.
