ePlace extra shear bofts supplied (found in parts bag) under each end of the scraper bar near but not under the skids,,
oLoosen the skid mounting nuts (See Fig, 23) and push the skids down until they touch the ground, Retighten the mounting nuts,
For rocky or uneven surfaces, raise the front of the snow thrower by moving the skids down This will help prevent rocks and other debris from being picked up and thrown by the auger
NOTE: Ifthe skids are at the maximum height, the weight transfer system wit{ not work,
TO ADJUST SCRAPER BAR
