3.
Ensure that the scraper is 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 scraper. For
gravel surfaces, adjust the skids further down to
prevent the machine from picking up rocks.
4.
Move the skids down until they are even with
the ground.
5.
Firmly tighten the nuts that secure both skids
to the auger sides.
Note:
To easily adjust the skids if they loosen,
support the scraper 3 mm (1/8 inch) off the
pavement, then adjust the skids down to the
pavement.
Note:
If the skids become excessively worn,
you can turn them over and set the unused side
toward the pavement.
