Shave Plate and Skid Shoes

The shave plate and skid shoes on the bottom of the snow thrower are subject to wear. They should be checked periodically and replaced when necessary.

NOTE: The skid shoes on this machine have two wear edges. When one side wears out, they can be rotated 180° to use the other edge.

1.Remove the six carriage bolts, hex nuts, and bell washers that secure the two skid shoes to the sides of the auger housing. Refer to Figure 6-1.

2.Position the new skid shoes and secure with the carriage bolts, bell washers, and hex nuts. Make certain the skid shoes are adjusted to be level. See Figure 6-1.

NOTE: Before pivoting snow thrower up and forward, be sure to run the fuel tank dry to prevent leakage of fuel.

2.Remove the frame cover from the underside of the snow thrower by removing four self-tapping screws which secure it.

3.Apply a light coating of engine oil (or 3-in-1 oil) to the hex shaft. See Fig. 6-2.
