Checking and Adjusting the
Skids and Scraper
Service Interval: Yearly—Check the skids and the scraper
and adjust them if necessary.

not contact the paved or gravel surface. Adjust the skids and
the scraper as needed to compensate for wear.
1. Check the tire pressure. Refer to
2. Loosen the nuts that secure both skids to the auger
sides until the skids slide up and down easily.

Important: The auger blades must be supported
above the ground by the skids.
3. Ensure that the scraper is 1/8 inch (3 mm) 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 quickly adjust the skids if they loosen,
support the scraper 1/8 inch (3 mm) 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.
