Drive Chain Adjustment

See Inspect, Adjust & Lubricate Drive Chain in the MAIN-
TENANCE Section.

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 (see
Figure 5).
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.

Electric Chute Rotator Gear

the three taptite screws (A) securing the electric
