Adjusting the skid shoes

The space between the shave plate and the ground can be adjusted.

For close snow removal on a smooth surface, lower the skid shoes into a low position on the auger housing.

Use a middle or higher position when the area to be cleared is uneven. See Figure 13.

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

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.

Tire pressure

The tires are over inflated for shipping purposes. Check tire pressure and reduce to 15 to 20 psi. Refer to tire sidewalls for recommended tire pressure.

NOTE: If the tire pressure is not equal in both tires, the unit may pull to one side or the other.
