Runners
Runners should be adjusted as conditions require.
Raising or lowering runners controls distance scraper
blade (auger/impeller housing) is held above surface
being cleared.
1. Position unit on a hard, flat, smooth level surface.
2. Adjust runners by inserting a spacer of desired
thickness under center of scraper blade, loosen
hardware, slide runners to flat surface (Figure 15).
Allow 1/8" (3mm) between scraper blade and hard
smooth surface. Allow 1 1/4" (30mm) between
scraper blade and uneven surface(s).
3. Retighten hardware.
NOTE: Keep housing level by adjusting runners equally.
Uneven runners make unit difficult to steer and results in
uneven clearing.
