Checking and Adjusting the
Skids and Scraper
Service Interval: Yearly—Check the skids and
the scraper and adjust them if
necessary.
Check the skids and the scraper to ensure that the
auger does not contact the paved or gravel surface.
Adjust the skids and the scraper as needed to
compensate for wear.
1. Check the tire pressure; refer to 2 Checking the
Tire Pressure (page 5) .
2. Loosen the nuts that secure both skids to the
auger sides until the skids slide up and down
easily.

1. 3 mm (1/8 inch)
Important:
The auger blades must be
supported above the ground by the skids.
3. Ensure that the scraper is 3 mm (1/8 inch) above
and parallel to a level surface.
Note:
If the pavement is cracked, rough, or
uneven, adjust the skids to raise the scraper. For
gravel surfaces, adjust the skids further down to
prevent the machine from picking up rocks.
4. Move the skids down until they are even with
the ground.
5. Firmly tighten the nuts that secure both skids
to the auger sides.
Note:
To quickly adjust the skids if they loosen,
support the scraper 3 mm (1/8 inch) off the
pavement, then adjust the skids down to the
pavement.
Note:
If the skids become excessively worn,
you can turn them over and set the unused side
toward the pavement.
Checking and Adjusting the
Traction Cable
Service Interval: After the first 2 hours—Inspect
the traction cable and adjust it if
necessary.
Yearly—Inspect the traction cable and adjust or
replace it if necessary.
