To adjust the skid shoes
Adjust skid shoes by loosening the six (three on each side) 1.
hex nuts, washers, and carriage bolts securing the skid
shoes to the auger housing. Refer to Figure 12.
Figure 12
Adjusting Chute Crank
It may be necessary to loosen or tighten the crank mounting
bracket prior to and after operation. To loosen the crank mounting
bracket, loosen the carriage bolts that secure the chute crank
mounting bracket to the snow blower. See Figure 11. To tighten the
clamps, tighten the carriage bolts.
Adjusting the skid shoes
Caution: It is not recommended that you
operate this snow blower on gravel as it
can easily pick up and throw loose gravel,
causing personal injury or damage to the
snow blower and surrounding property.
For close snow removal on a smooth surface, adjust the skid
shoes so that the shave plate on the bottom of the auger housing
is just off the ground.
Adjust the skid shoes to a lower position to raise the shave plate
off the ground when clearing uneven areas, such as a ribbon type
driveway or a gravel driveway
NOTE: If you choose to operate the snow blower
on a gravel surface, keep the skid shoes in position for maximum clearance between the ground
and the shave plate.
While observing the distance between the shave plate and 2.
the ground, adjust the skid shoes up or down to achieve the
desired shave plate height. See Figure 12.
Make certain the entire bottom surface of the skid shoes is 3.
against the ground to avoid uneven wear on the skid shoes;
then tighten nuts and bolts securely.
Drift Cutter
The drift cutter can be placed in the up or down position. See
