Skid Shoe

The space between the shave plate and the ground can be adjusted by raising or lowering the skid shoes.

For close snow removal, as when using on a smooth concrete or asphalt driveway, place the skid shoes in the low position. Use the middle or high position when the area to be cleared is uneven. When operating on gravel, always put skid shoes in the high position. See Figure 15.

Adjust skid shoes as follows:

•Loosen, but do not remove, the hex flange locknuts which fasten the skid shoe to the auger housing.

•Raise or lower the skid shoe to desired position.

•Retighten the hex nuts loosened earlier.

NOTE: Make certain the bottom surface of skid shoe is flat against the ground to avoid uneven wear .
