TO ADJUST SKnDS HEIGHT

This snow thrower is equipped with two height adjust-

ment skids, located on the outside of the auger housing. These skids elevate the front of the snow thrower°

For normal hard surfaces, adjust the skids as follows:

oPlace extra shear'bolts supplied (found inparts bag) under each end of the scraper bar near but not under the skid.

eLoosen the skid mounting nuts (See Fig 19) and push the skid down until it touches the ground. Re- tighten the mounting nuts.

=Set the skid on the other side at same height..

For rocky or uneven surfaces, raise the front of the snow thrower by moving the skids down. This will help prevent rocks and other debris from being picked up and thrown by the auger.
