Adjusting the Skids and Scraper - Pivoting

Scraper Models
1. Check the air pressure in the tires. They must be
between 17 and 20 psi (116-137 kPa) and the same
on both sides so the machine sets level.
2. Move the snowthrower onto a level surface.
3. Loosen the nuts that secure both skids to the auger
sides until the skids slide up and down easily.
4. For use on a smooth paved surface, push down on
the handles to raise the auger. This will allow the
scraper to move fully forward. Set the auger down so
the scraper contacts the ground.
5. Move the skids down until they contact the ground
and secure them.
Note: If the surface that this machine will be used
on is really smooth, the skids can be raised
slightly, approximately 1/8-1/4" (3-6mm) to
increase the scraping action.
If you must use a pivoting scraper on a gravel
surface, set the skids all the way down,
raising the auger to prevent the scraper from
picking up rocks.
6. Check to ensure the rotating part of the auger does
not touch the ground. This can damage the auger as
well as the pavement.
