The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by changing the angle of the chute assembly.
To do so:
1. Stop the engine by removing the ignition key and loosen the plastic wing knob
found on the left side of the chute assembly.
2. Pivot the chute upward or downward before retightening the wing knob, See
Figure 30.
Skid Shoe Adjustment
The space between skid shoes and the ground can be adjusted. See Figure 31.
● For close snow removal on a smooth surface, raise skid shoes higher on the auger
housing.
● Use a middle or lower position when the area to be cleared is uneven, such as a gravel
driveway.
To adjust the skid shoes:
1. Loosen the four hex nuts (Two on each side) and carriage bolts. Move skid shoes
to desired position.
2. Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid shoe is against the ground to avoid
uneven wear on the skid shoes.
3. Retighten nuts and bolts securely.

Preparing Engine
WARNING: Never store snow thrower with fuel in tank indoors or in poorly ventilated areas,
where fuel fumes may reach an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a furnace, water
heater, clothes dryer or gas appliance.
NOTE: It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system parts of
the engine such as the carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during storage.
CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels(called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol)can attract
moisture which leads to separation and formation acids during storage. Acidic gas can
damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage.
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied before storage for 30 days or
longer, Follow these instructions to prepare your snow thrower for storage:
WARNING: Drain fuel into an approved container outdoors, away from any open flame. Be
certain engine is cool. Do not smoke. Fuel left in engine during warm weather deteriorates
