ADJUST SKID HEIGHT

WARNING: Always turn unit off, remove ignition key, and
disconnect the spark plug wire before making any
repairs or adjustments.
This snowthrower is equipped with two height adjust skids, secured
to the outside of the auger housing. These elevate the front of the
snowthrower.
When removing snow from a hard surface area such as a paved
driveway or walk, adjust the skids up to bring the front of the
snowthrower down.
When removing snow from rock or uneven construction, raise the
front of the snowthrower by moving the skids down. This will help to
prevent rocks and other debris from being picked up and thrown by
the augers.

To adjust skids, proceed as follows:
1. Place a block (equal to height from ground desired) under
scraper bar near but not under skid.
2. Loosen skid mounting nuts (A, Figure 17) and push the skid
down (B) until it touches the ground. Retighten mounting nuts.
3. Set skid on other side at same height.
NOTE: Make sure that snowthrower is set at same height on
both sides.
WARNING: Be certain to maintain proper ground
clearance for your particular area to be cleared.
Objects such as gravel, rocks, or other debris, if struck
by the impeller, may be thrown with sufficient force to
cause personal injury, property damage, or damage to
the snowthrower.
