Troubleshooting

Skid Shoe Adjustment

On smooth surfaces such as concrete or asphalt, the
scraper bar should scrape the surface. On surfaces such
as gravel, the scraper bar should be set high enough so
that it will not pick up debris.
1. Loosen the nuts securing the skid shoes as shown in
Figure 48.
2. Raise or lower the scraper bar to the desired height.
Use wood blocks to hold the snowthrower in position.
3. Set the skid shoes so that they are in contact with the
ground and tighten the skid shoe nuts.
Figure 48

Electric Chute Rotator Gear

1. Remove the cover and loosen the three screws (a,
Figure 49) securing the electric spout rotator motor.
2. Adjust the motor so that it meshes with the discharge
chute ring gear and tighten the adjustment screws.
3. Reinstall the cover.

Auger Shear Pins

The auger shear pins (a, Figure 50) are designed to break
if the auger strikes an object. Replace the shear pins with
original factory specification shear pins ONLY.
Impeller shear bolt located on shaft,
in front of impeller.

Impeller Shear Bolt

The impeller shear bolt is designed to break if the auger
strikes an object. The impeller shear bolt is located in the
impeller shaft between the impeller and auger gear box as
shown in Figure 50. Replace the shear bolt ONLY with a
5/16-18 x 1 Grade 5 bolt.
Lift Adjustment
In the fully raised position the attachment should be 4"-5"
off the ground. In the fully lowered position, the lift rod
should compress the spring creating downward pressure
on the snowthrower.
NOTE: Always adjust the lift height before and after
adjusting the downward pressure.
Lift Height Adjustment
1. Fully raise the attachment lift. The snowthrower should
be approximately 4"-5" off the ground. If not, go to step
2.
2. Lower the snowthrower and adjust the front set collar
(a, Figure 51) to achieve the correct lift height.
Downward Pressure Adjustment
NOTE: Check that the lift bar or lock plate are in the correct
positions.
1. Place the lift in the fully raised position.
2. Release the rear set collar (b).
3. Slide the set collar forward until it is slightly
compressing the lift rod spring (c). Tighten the set collar
screw. Do not over-compress the lift rod spring.
