ADJUSTMENTS
ATTENTION : To avoid personal injury, be sure the tractor engine is off, the drive shaft disengaged, and all movement has stopped before making any adjustments.
Deflector Adjustment
Set the angle of deflection according to the distance the snow must be thrown. To set the deflector angle:
•Loosen the deflector knob located on the side of the deflector; adjust the deflector to the appropriate angle.
•Retighten the knobs.
Skid Shoe Adjustment
(Figure 14)
Adjust the snowblower so that the skid shoes run level and according to the surface conditions so that stones are not thrown with the snow. Adjust both skid shoes to the same height to keep the cutting edge level and adjust upwards for smooth surfaces.
Loosen skid shoe bolts and adjust according to instructions below, and securely tighten bolts:
Clearance between cutting edge and surface:
•Level paved surface : Adjust to 1/16" to 1/8"
•Uneven or gravel surface: Adjust to 1/2" to 5/8"
