Know Your Snow Thrower - Cub Cadet 826 SWE Operator's Manual

Adjust skid shoes as follows:
• Loosen, but do NOT remove, the three hex nuts
which fasten the skid shoe to the auger housing.
• Move the skid shoe to the desired position.
NOTE: Make certain the entire bottom surface of the
skidshoe is against the ground to avoid uneven wear on
the skid shoes.
• Retighten the hex nuts loosened earlier.
• Repeat this adjustment on the skid shoe found on
the opposite side of the snow thrower.
NOTE: The skid shoes are reversible on this machine.
When one side wears out, it can be rotated 180° and
the other flat skid surface can be used.
