Skid Shoes

The space between the shave plate and the ground can be adjusted. For close snow removal, place skid shoes in the low position. Use middle or high position when area to be cleared is uneven.

•Adjust skid shoes by loosening the four hex nuts and carriage bolts and moving skid shoes to desired position. See WARNING:.

•Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid shoe is against the ground to avoid uneven wear on the skid shoes. Retighten nuts and bolts securely.

WARNING: Do not operate this snow thrower on gravel as loose gravel can be easily picked up and thrown by the auger causing injury to the operator and/or damage to the snow thrower.

One Wheel Driving: Insert the click pin only through the outside hole of the axle (not the rim) on the right side of the snow thrower. This position gives power drive to the left wheel only, making the unit easier to maneuver.

Both Wheels Driving: Insert the click pin through the hole in the hub of the rim and the inside hole on the snow thrower’s right axle. This position is good for heavy snow as there is power drive in both wheels.

IMPORTANT: Never operate the snow thrower with the click pin inserted through both the rim and the outside hole in the axle. Doing so can result in serious damage to the drive system.

Drive Wheels

The wheels may be adjusted for two different methods of operation. The adjustment is made by placing the click pins in one of two different holes on the right side of the unit. See Figure 10.
