clear gravel or uneven surfaces, this |
adjustment should be increased so |
gravel or other foreign objects are not |
scooped up into the auger. |
To adjust the auger housing/scraper |
blade height: |
a. Move the unit onto a level surface. |
b. Loosen the bolts securing the skid |
shoes (M, Fig. |
c. Adjust the skid shoes (M) until they |
are in the correct position to support |
the auger housing and the scraper |
blade (adjust both skid shoes the |
same to prevent uneven snow |
removal). |
d. Tighten the bolts to lock the skid |
shoes (M) into the proper position. |
7.The scraper blade (N, Fig.
(Z, Fig. 4-2). Adjust the bottom edge of the scraper blade so it is parallel to the bottom edge of the auger.
8.Adjust the discharge chute deflector cap (AA, Fig. 4-3) with lever to the desired angle of discharge. Usually keep the angle of the discharge defector cap low, especially in windy conditions.
9.Rotate the discharge chute control rod (crank) (P, Fig.
10.Check the auger drive and wheel drive control levers (H and L, Fig.
11.Check the tire pressure. Inflate both tires evenly to 8 to 12 PSI (55 to 82 Kpa).
12.Spray silicone spray on the inside of the deflector chute, the chute discharge deflector cap, the auger housing, and on the augers. This will help prevent snow from sticking (do not spray silicon spray on rubber or plastic: damage can result).

14.Rotate the fuel
(K, Fig. 4-1) to the “ON” position, if so equipped.
