TO ADJUST SKID PLATES (See Fig. 18)

NOTE: The wrench provided in your parts bag may be used to adjust the skid plates.

Skid plates are located on each side of the auger housing and adjust the clearance between the scraper bar and the ground surface. Adjust skid plates evenly to proper height for current surface conditions. For removal of snow in normal conditions, such as a paved driveway or sidewalk, place skid plates in the highest position (lowest scraper clearance) to give a 1/8" clearance between the scraper bar and the ground. Use a middle position if the surface to be cleared is uneven.

NOTE: It is not recommended to operate the snow thrower over gravel or rocky surfaces. Objects such as gravel, rocks or other debris, can easily be picked up and thrown by the impeller, which can cause serious personal injury, property

11 damage or damage to the snow thrower.

At its core, the Husqvarna 1130ST is equipped with a reliable 291cc engine that delivers impressive power. The engine's efficient design ensures optimal fuel consumption while providing the torque necessary for heavy snow removal. This snow blower features a 30-inch clearing width, allowing it to handle significant amounts of snow with ease, while its 21-inch intake height helps it ingest deep snow without bogging down.
