8. Raise or lower the skids equally on both sides to obtain
level scraping action, and tighten nuts securely
(Fig. 52).
Note: On smooth, paved surfaces, the scraper blade can be
close to the surface. On uneven, gravel or crushed rock
surfaces, adjust the skids to raise the scraper, thereby
preventing catching or picking up rocks.
Important
The scraper should be higher above the
pavement if the pavement surfaces on which the
snowthrower will be used are cracked, rough or uneven.
Replacing the Scraper Blade
The scraper blade contacts the ground preventing damage
to the snowthrower housing. Periodically inspect the
scraper blade for wear. When the scraper becomes worn,
before the working surface contacts the housing, replace the
scraper blade.
1. Disengage the PTO and set the parking brake.
2. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop before leaving the operating
position.
3. Support the snowthrower housing off the ground.
4. Remove the nuts, washers, carriage bolts, and scraper
blade (Fig. 53).
5. Install a new scraper blade with the previously removed
hardware (Fig. 53).
