•Recheck adjustment; readjust as necessary and tighten the jam nut.

Skid Shoe

The space between the shave plate and the ground can be adjusted by repositioning the skid shoes. For close snow removal, place skid shoes in the low position. Use middle or high position when area to be cleared is uneven. See Figure 8. When operating on gravel, always put skid shoes in the high position.

Adjust skid shoes as follows:

•Loosen, but do not remove, the two 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.

Figure 8

NOTE: Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid shoe is against the ground to avoid uneven wear on the skid shoes.

Tire Pressure (Pneumatic Tires)

The tires are overinflated for shipping purposes.

•Check tire pressure. Maintain pressure between 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.

WARNING: Maximum tire pressure under any circumstance is 30 psi. Equal tire pressure should be maintained at all times. Excessive pressure (over 30 psi) when seating beads may cause tire/rim assembly to burst with force sufficient to cause serious injury.
