the lower shift rod. See Figure 13.
Place the shift lever into the sixth (6) position.
Rotate the shift arm clockwise (from the operator's
position) as far as it will go.

Chute Assembly

The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by
changing the angle of the chute assembly. Move the
chute tilt control forward to decrease the distance,
toward the rear to increase.

Skid Shoes

The space between the shave plate and the ground can
be adjusted. For close snow removal, place skid shoes
in the low position. Use middle or high position when
area to be cleared is uneven. See Figure 14.

surface of skid shoe is against the ground to avoid
uneven wear on the skid shoes. Retighten nuts and
bolts securely.
Carriage Bolts
WARNING:
thrower on gravel as loose gravel can be
easily picked up and thrown by the auger
causing injury to the operator and/or damage
to the snow thrower.
Drive Wheels
The wheels may be adjusted for two different methods
of operation. The adjustment is made by placing the
click pins in one of two different holes on the right side
of the unit. See Figure 15.
One Wheel Driving: Insert the click pin only
through the outside hole of the axle (not the rim) on
the right side of the snow thrower. This position
gives power drive to the left wheel only, making the
unit easier to maneuver.
