SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

Shave Plate and Skid Shoes

The shave plate and skid shoes on the bottom of the snow thrower are subject to wear. They should be checked periodically and replaced when necessary.

Skid Shoes

NOTE: The skid shoes on this machine have two wear edges. When one side wears out, they can be rotated 180° to use the other edge.

1.Remove the six carriage bolts and hex nuts that secure the two skid shoes to the sides of the auger housing. Refer to Figure 18.

2.Position the new skid shoes and secure with the carriage bolts and hex nuts. Make certain the skid shoes are adjusted to be level.

Shave Plate

1.Remove the hex nuts and carriage bolts that secure the shave plate to the bottom of the housing.

2.Remove the rear most hex nut and carriage bolt securing the back of each skid shoe to the sides of the housing. Loosen the four remaining hex nuts securing the skid shoes.

3.Slide the shave plate out of the off-set slot at the bottom of the housing, and from between the skid shoes and side panels of the housing.

4.With the mounting holes toward the back, slide the new shave plate into position and secure with the fasteners removed previously.

Adjustments

Shift Rod

If the full range of speeds (forward and reverse) cannot be achieved, refer to the figure to the left and adjust the shift rod as follows:

1.Looking underneath the handle panel, note which of the three holes in the shift lever the ferrule is inserted into. Also note the direction of insertion. Then remove the internal cotter pin and flat washer from the ferrule and withdraw the ferrule from the shift lever. See Figure 19.

2.Place shift lever in sixth (6) position or fastest forward speed.

3.Push shift rod and shift arm assembly down sharply as far as it will go to put the drive into the fastest forward position.

4.As necessary, rotate the ferrule up or down the shift rod until the ferrule lines up with the hole from which it was earlier removed. See Figure 19.

5.From the direction noted earlier, insert the ferrule into the proper hole.

6.Reinstall the washer and the internal cotter pin.
