Skid Shoes

The space between the shave plate and the ground can be adjusted by raising or lowering the skid shoes.

For close snow removal, as when using on a smooth concrete or asphalt driveway, place the skid shoes in the low position. Use the middle or high position when the area to be cleared is uneven. When operating on gravel, always put skid shoes in the high position.

See Figure 5-4.

Adjust skid shoes as follows:

1.Loosen, but do not remove, the hex flange locknuts which fasten the skid shoe to the auger housing.

2.Raise or lower the skid shoe to desired position.

3.Retighten the hex nuts loosened earlier.

NOTE: Make certain the bottom surface of skid shoe is flat against the ground to avoid uneven wear.

4. Repeat on the other side of the snow thrower.

Auger Control

Refer to instructions on page 9 to adjust the auger control. Make certain to check for correct adjustment as instructed before operating the snow thrower.

Chute Assembly

The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by adjusting the angle of the chute assembly. Refer to page 9 for instructions.

The remote chute control cables have been pre-adjusted at the factory. Move the remote chute lever on the control panel back and forward to adjust angle of the chute assembly.

Chute Bracket Adjustment

If the spiral at the bottom of the chute directional control is not fully engaging with the chute assembly, the chute bracket can be adjusted. To do so:

1.Loosen the two nuts which secure the chute bracket and reposition it slightly. See Figure 5-5.

2.Retighten the nuts.

Making

Adjustments

IMPORTANT: It is not recommended that you operate this snow thrower on gravel as loose gravel can be easily picked up and thrown by the auger causing personal injury or damage to the snow thrower.

If for some reason, you have to operate the snow thrower on gravel, keep the skid shoe in the highest position for maximum clearance between the ground and the shave plate.
