Maintenance Safety

Read the following safety precautions before

•
Before servicing, adjusting, or cleaning the
machine, shut off the engine and remove the
key. If major repairs are ever needed, contact an
Authorized Service Dealer.
•
Always wear eye protection while performing an
adjustment or repair to protect your eyes from
foreign objects that the machine may throw.
•
Check all fasteners at frequent intervals for proper
tightness to ensure that the machine is in safe
working condition.
•
Do not change the governor settings on the engine.
Purchase only genuine Toro replacement parts
and accessories.

Checking and Adjusting the
Skids
Service Interval: Yearly
Check the skids to ensure that the auger does not
contact the paved surface. Adjust the skids as needed
to compensate for wear
1. Loosen the skid bolts.
2. Slide a 5 mm (3/16 inch) board underneath the
scraper.
Note:
Using a thinner board results in a more
aggressive scraper; using a thicker board results
in a less aggressive scraper.
3. Lower the skids to the ground.
Note:
Ensure that the skids are flat on the
ground.
4. Tighten the skid bolts.
