Scraper Blade
The scraper blade allows the back of the
housing to keep better contact with the
surface being cleared. It also prevents
damage to the housing from normal wear.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT allow Scraper Blade
to wear too far or Auger/Impeller housing will
become damaged.
Runners
The runners control the distance between the
scraper blade and the ground. Adjust runners
equally to keep blade level with the ground.
Refer to Pre-Start on page 19 for
recommended settings.
