Gauge Wheels or Skid Shoes
Inspect for paper adjustment of the gauge wheels or skid shoes before each use.
IMPORTANT: Failure to maintain proper adjustment of the gauge wheels or skid shoes can result in accelerated wear of the scraper blade.
Optional skid shoes can be used instead of the gauge wheels to operate the snowblower on soft surfaces. Adjust the gauge wheels or optional skid shoes as follows:
1.Park the tractor on a level surface and lower the snowblower.
2.Loosen the bolts that fasten the gauge wheels (or skid shoes) to the snowblower.
