Skid Shoes

Position the skid shoes based on surface conditions. Adjust upward for hard-packed snow. Adjust downward when operating on gravel or crushed rock surfaces. See Set-Up & Assembly section. Skid shoe styles and appearance vary by model.

Augers

When engaged, the augers rotate and draw snow into the auger housing.

Chute Assembly

Snow drawn into the auger housing is discharged out the chute assembly. Chute assembly styles and appearance vary by model.

Headlight (if so equipped)

The headlight is located on top of the handle panel and is automatically turned on when the engine is started.
