on
each side of
the
auger housing
adjusts
the
distance
the
scraper blade
is raised
above
the
plowing surface. When removing
snow from an
uneven
surface
or a
gravel
driveway, it is advisable
to keep
the
scraper blade as
high
above the
surface as possible
to
prevent
possible damage to
the
auger and
to help prevent
stones from being thrown
with
snow.
On
blacktop or
concrete, keep the scraper blade as close to the surface as
possible.
The Snow Thrower
is
shipped from the factory
with skid shoe flanges mounted to the side of
t
he
housing.
