Chute Directional Control and/or models
with chute-pitch controls see Controls and
Operation on page 13.
On units with manual chute tilt the distance
snow is thrown can be adjusted by changing
angle of chute assembly. To do so:
1.
Loosen wing knob found on left side of
chute assembly. See Figure 2-37.

Skid Shoes
The snow thrower skid shoes are adjusted at
the factory set roughly 1/8" below the shave
plate. Adjust them downward, if desired, prior
to operating the snow thrower.
CAUTION
Use extreme caution when on gravel and adjust auger
housing height to clear gravel or crushed rock surfaces to
avoid picking up and throwing gravel or crushed rock.
•
For close snow removal on a smooth
surface, raise skid shoes higher on auger
housing.
•
Use a lower position when area to be
cleared is uneven, such as a gravel
driveway.
NOTE: If you choose to operate unit on a
gravel surface, keep skid shoes in position for
maximum clearance between ground and
shave plate.
To adjust skid shoes:
1.
Loosen four hex nuts (a) (two on each
side) and carriage bolts (b). Move skid
shoes to desired position. See Figure
2-38.
