Shave Plate & Skid Shoes
The shave plate and skid shoes on the bottom of the
snow thrower are subject to wear. Check these periodi-
cally and replace as necessary.
Skid Shoes
NOTE: The skid shoes on this machine have two wear
edges. The skid shoes can be rotated from one side of
the snow thrower to the other to ensure even wear, or
they can be turned 180° to use the other edge.
1.
Remove the six carriage bolts, hex nuts, and bell
washers that secure the two skid shoes to the sides of
the auger housing. Refer to Figure 6-2.
2. Position the new skid shoes and secure with the car-
riage bolts, bell washers, and hex nuts. Make certain
the skid shoes are adjusted to be level.
Shave Plate
1. Remove the five hex nuts, bell washers, and carriage
bolts that secure the shave plate to the bottom of the
housing.
2. Remove the rear most hex nut, bell washer, and
carriage bolt securing the back of each skid shoe to
the sides of the housing. Loosen the remaining hex
nuts securing the skid shoes.
3. Slide the shave plate out of the off-set slot at the
bottom of the housing, and from between the skid
shoes and side panels of the housing.
4. With the mounting holes toward the rear, slide the
new shave plate into position in the housing slot and
between the housing and skid shoes. Install all the
fasteners before tightening; then tighten all fasteners
to secure the shave plate.
Replacing Belt
Snow Thrower Preparation
1. Disconnect the chute crank assembly at the discharge
chute end by removing the internal cotter pin and flat
washer. See Figure 6-3.
2. Remove the plastic belt cover, located at the front of
the engine, by removing the three self-tapping screws.
See Figure 6-4.
3. Unhook the spring found on the end of the auger
cable from its respective actuator bracket. See Figure
