Scraper Blade
The scraper blade allows the back of the housing to keep better contact with the surface being cleared. It also prevents damage to the housing from wear.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT allow Scraper Blade to wear too far or Auger/Impeller housing will become damaged.
Skid Shoes
The skid shoes control the distance between the scraper blade and the ground. Adjust skid shoes equally to keep blade level with the ground. Refer to
FILLING FUEL TANK
WARNING: AVOID INJURY. Read and understand the entire Safety section before proceeding.
GASOLINE
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS use gasoline that meets the following guidelines:
•Clean, fresh gasoline.
•A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON). High altitude use may require a different octane. Consult your engine manual.
•Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or up to 10% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) is acceptable.
•Use of any gasoline other than those approved above will void the engine warranty. If the pumps are not marked for the content of alcohol or ethers, check ethanol and MTBE levels with the fuel supplier.
•Do not modify the fuel system to use different fuels.
•Never mix oil and gasoline.
NOTICE: All gasoline is not the same. If the engine experiences starting or performance problems after using a new gasoline, switch to a different fuel provider or fuel brand.
IMPORTANT: Excessively oxygenated or reformulated fuels (fuels blended with alcohols or ethers) can damage the fuel system or cause performance problems. If any undesirable operating problems occur, use a gasoline with a lower percentage of alcohol or ether.
