Scraper Bar &
Skid Shoe Adjustment
On smooth surfaces such as concrete or asphalt, the scraper bar should scrape the surface. On surfaces such as gravel, the scraper bar should be high enough so that it will not pick up gravel or debris.
The height of the scraper bar is controlled by raising or lowering the Skid Shoes (See Figure 8).
1.To raise the scraper bar height, rest the scraper bar on a strip of wood equal in thickness to the desired height.
2.Make sure the scraper bar is parallel to the ground surface.
3.Loosen the skid shoe nuts and let the skid shoes drop to the surface.
4.Tighten the nuts, making sure the Skid Shoes are adjusted equally and are parallel to the surface.
5.To lower the height of the scraper bar, raise the Skid Shoes.
6.If the scraper bar becomes worn, it can be adjusted by loosening the nuts and bolts attaching it to the snowthrower, making the adjustment, and tightening the hardware. It may also be replaced by removing the mounting nuts and bolts attaching it to the snowthrower.
