Adjustments

Skid Shoes

The snow thrower skid shoes are adjusted upward at the factory for shipping purposes. Adjust them downward, if desired, prior to operating the snow thrower.

Caution: It is not recommended that you operate this snow thrower on gravel as it can easily pick up and throw loose gravel, causing personal injury or damage to the snow thrower and surrounding property.

•For close snow removal on a smooth surface, raise skid shoes higher on the auger housing.

•Use a middle or lower position when the area to be cleared is uneven, such as a gravel driveway

NOTE: If you choose to operate the snow thrower on a gravel surface, keep the skid shoes in position for maximum clearance between the ground and the shave plate.

To adjust the skid shoes:

1.Loosen the four hex nuts (two on each side) and carriage bolts. Move skid shoes to desired position. See Fig. 3-7.

Figure 3-7

2.Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid shoe is against the ground to avoid uneven wear on the skid shoes.

3.Retighten nuts and bolts securely.

Chute Assembly

The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by changing the angle of the chute assembly. To do so:

1.Stop the engine by removing the ignition key and loosen the plastic knob found on the left side of the chute assembly.

2.Pivot the chute upward or downward before retightening the wing knob. See Fig. 3-8.
