FINAL ADJUSTMENTS
Auger Control Adjustment
Check the adjustment of the auger control as follows:
•Push forward on the auger control until the small rubber bumper contacts the upper handle. There should be slack in the cable. See Figure 8.
•Release the auger control. The cable should be straight. Make certain you can depress the auger
control against the left handle completely. If adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows:
•Loosen the jam nut and thread the cable in (for less slack) or out (for more slack) as necessary. See Figure 8.
•Recheck the adjustment before retightening the jam nut against the cable.
Skid Shoe Adjustment
The space between the shave plate and the ground can be adjusted by repositioning the skid shoes found on either side of the snow throwers auger housing. For close snow removal, place skid shoes in the low position. Use middle or high position when area to be cleared is uneven. See Figure 11.
