ADJUST SKID HEIGHT

This snow thrower is equipped with two height adjust skids, secured to the outside of the auger housing. These elevate the front of the snow thrower.

When removing snow from a hard surface area such as a paved driveway or walk, adjust the skids up to bring the front of the snow thrower down.

When removing snow from rock or uneven construction, raise the front of the snow thrower by moving the skids down. This will help to prevent rocks and other debris from being picked up and thrown by the augers.

To adjust skids, proceed as follows:

1.Place a block (equal to height from ground desired) under scraper bar near but not under skid.

2.Loosen skid mounting nuts (A, Figure 25) and push the skid down

(B) until it touches the ground. Retighten mounting nuts.

3.Set skid on other side at same height.

NOTE: Make sure that snow thrower is set at same height on both sides.

WARNING: Be certain to maintain proper ground clearance for your particular area to be cleared. Objects such as gravel, rocks, or other debris, if struck by the impeller, may be thrown with sufficient force to cause personal injury, property damage, or damage to the snow thrower.
