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 normal wear.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT allow Scraper Blade to wear too far or Auger/Impeller housing will become damaged.

Runners

The runners control the distance between the scraper blade and the ground. Adjust runners equally to keep blade level with the ground.

Refer to Pre-Startfor recommended settings.
