Skid Shoes Adjustment

WARNING!
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.
1.
For close snow removal on a smooth surface, raise skid
shoes higher on the auger housing. Allow 1/8 in. (3 mm)
between scraper blade and hard, smooth surface(s).
2. Use a middle or lower position when the area to be
cleared is uneven, such as a gravel driveway.
Allow
1-1/4 in. (30 mm) between scraper blade and uneven or
gravel surfaces.
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 scraper blade.
To adjust the skid shoes:
3.
Loosen the 4 hex nuts (2 on each side). Move skid shoes
to desired position (Fig. 7).
