AUGER HOUSING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

TO ADJUST SCRAPER BAR

After considerable use, the metal scraper bar will have a definite wear pattern. The scraper bar in conjunction with the skids should always be adjusted to allow one-eighth of an inch (3 mm) between the scraper bar and the sidewalk or area to be cleaned.

To adjust the scraper bar, proceed as follows:

1.Position the snow blower on a level surface.

2.Loosen the carriage bolts and nuts securing the scraper bar to the auger housing.

3.Adjust the scraper bar to the proper position. Tighten the carriage bolts and nuts, insuring that the scraper bar is parallel with the working surface.

4.For extended operation, the scraper bar may be re- versed. If the scraper bar must be replaced because of wear, remove the carriage bolts and nuts and install a new scraper bar.

To adjust skids, proceed as follows:

1.Place a block (equal to height from ground desired) un- der scraper bar near but not under skid.

2.Loosen skid mounting nuts (Figure 29) and push the skid down until it touches the ground. Retighten mounting nuts.

3.Set skid on other side at same height.

NOTE: Make sure that snow blower is set at same height on both sides.

,_ WARNING: Be certain to maintain proper ground clearance for your particular area to be

cleared. Objects such as gravel, rocks or other debris, if struck by the impeller, may be thrown with sufficient force to cause personal injury, property dam- age or damage to the snow blower.

Height Adjust Skid

TO ADJUST SKID HEIGHT

This snow blower is equipped with two height adjust skids, secured to the outside of the auger housing. These elevate the front of the snow blower.

When removing snow from a hard surface area such as a paved driveway or walk, adjust the skids up to bring the front of the snow blower down.

When removing snow from rock or uneven construction, raise the front of the snow blower by moving the skids down. This will help to prevent rocks and other debris from being picked up and thrown by the augers.
