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 11. Adjust skid shoes as follows:
•Loosen, but do not remove, the three hex nuts which fasten the skid shoe to the auger housing.
•Raise or lower the skid shoe to desired position.
•Retighten the hex nuts loosened earlier.
•Repeat on the other side of the snow thrower.
Chute Assembly
•The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by adjusting the angle of the chute assembly. Refer to page 8 for instrcutions.
•The remote chute control cables have been pre- adjusted at the factory. Move the remote chute lever on the control panel back and forward to adjust angle of the chute assembly.
Drive Wheels
•The wheels may be adjusted for two different methods of operation. Follow the steps below for adjustment. See Figure 12.
One Wheel Driving
•On the right side of the unit, place klick pin in the outside axle hole only. Do not place pin through wheel hub.This position gives power drive to the left wheel only, making the unit easier to maneuver.
Both Wheels Driving
•Rotate wheel assembly to align hole in the hub with the inner hole on the axle shaft. Insert klick pin in the hole. Outer axle shaft hole should be visible.
