Skid Shoes And Scraper - Honda HSS928A Owner's Manual

SERVICING YOUR SNOW BLOWER

SKID SHOES AND SCRAPER

Turn the engine switch to the OFF position, and disconnect the spark
plug cap, so the engine cannot be accidentally started while you are
near the auger.
The skids are installed on the auger housing: rear (track models AT,
ATD) or side (wheel models AW, AWD).
Loosen the bolts to move the skids, and then set the skid to the
convenient position and tighten the bolts securely.
NOTE:
For better clearing of hard packed snow with wheel types (AW, AWD),
remove the side skid shoes and install the included rear skid shoes to
the auger housing.
Wear inspection
1.Raise the auger housing off the ground.
2.Measure the thickness of the right and left skid shoes at their
thinnest point.
If the thickness of the skid contacting the ground surface is 0.02 in
(0.5 mm), turn the skid upside down.
Replace the skid if the thickness is less than 0.02 in (0.5 mm) after
turning the skid upside down.
Adjustment
1.Place the snow blower on a level surface.
2.Track models: Depress the auger height lever, push down on the
handlebars to raise the auger off the ground and then slowly lower
the auger until the skid shoes contact the ground.
3.Loosen the skid shoe bolts and adjust the skid shoes to obtain the
auger ground clearance for snow conditions recommended below.
Adjust the right and left skid shoes equally. Retighten the bolts:
