Skid Shoes

NOTE: The space between the skid shoes and the ground can be adjusted. See Figure 19. For close snow removal, place skid shoe in the low position. Use middle or high position when area to be cleared is uneven.

NOTE: Some models are equipped with reversible skid shoes and may be turned over to increase their lifespan. See Figure 19.

CAUTION: Loose gravel can be picked up and thrown by the auger, causing injury to the operator and bystanders and/or damage to the snow thrower and surrounding property.

Adjust skid shoes by loosening the four hex nuts (two on each side) and carriage bolts. Move skid shoes to desired position.

Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid shoe is against the ground to avoid uneven wear on the skid shoes. Retighten nuts and bolts securely.

Retighten the hex jam nut and repeat all three tests to verify proper adjustment has been achieved.
