CAUTION
If you leave the key in the switch, someone
could accidently start the engine and
seriously injure you or other bystanders.
Shut off the engine and remove the key
from the switch before you perform any
maintenance.

Maintenance Safety

Read the following safety precautions before
performing any maintenance on the machine:
•
Before servicing, adjusting, or cleaning the
machine, shut off the engine and remove the key.
•
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.

Adjusting the Skids

Service Interval: Every 50 hours—Check the skids.
Check the skids to ensure that the auger does not
contact the paved or gravel surface. Adjust the skids
as needed to compensate for wear.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, disengage
the PTO, and engage the parking brake.
2. Shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait
for all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position.
3. Loosen the nuts that secure both skids to the
auger sides until the skids slide up and down
easily (Figure
Important:
Support the auger blades above
the ground using the skids.

4. Move the skids down until they are even with
the ground.
5. Ensure that the trip edges are 3 mm (1/8 inch)
above and parallel to a level surface
Note:
If the pavement is cracked, rough, or
uneven, adjust the skids to raise the trip edges.
For gravel surfaces, adjust the skids further
down to prevent the machine from picking up
rocks.
6. Firmly tighten the nuts that secure both skids
to the auger sides.
Note:
To quickly adjust the skids if they loosen,
support the trip edges 3 mm (1/8 inch) off the
pavement, then adjust the skids down to the
pavement
