Troubleshooting, Adjustments, & Service

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 set high enough so that it will not pick up debris.

1.Loosen the nuts securing the skid shoes (see Figure 3).

2.Raise or lower the scraper bar to the desired height. Use wood blocks to hold the snow thrower in posi- tion.

3.Set the skid shoes so that they are in contact with the ground and tighten the skid shoe nuts.
