Checking and Adjusting the
Skids
Service Interval:
Yearly
Check the skids to ensure that the auger does not contact the
paved surface. Adjust the skids as needed to compensate for
wear (
Figure 15
).
1.
Loosen the skid bolts.
2.
Slide a 5 mm (3/16 inch) board underneath the scraper.
Note:
Using a thinner board will result in a more
aggressive scraper. A thicker board will result in a less
aggressive scraper.
3.
Lower the skids to the ground.
Note:
Ensure the skids are flat on the ground.
4.
Tighten the skid bolts.

Inspecting the Throwing
Edges
Service Interval:
Yearly—Inspect the throwing edges and
have an Authorized Service Dealer
replace the throwing edges and scraper
if necessary.
Before each session, inspect the throwing edges for wear.
When a throwing edge has worn down to the wear indicator
hole, have an Authorized Service Dealer replace the throwing
edges (
Figure 16
).

1.
The wear indicator hole
is intact; you do not need
to replace the throwing
edges.
2.
The wear indicator hole
is exposed; replace both
throwing edges.
Changing the Engine Oil
Service Interval:
After the first 2 hours
Yearly
Run the engine a few minutes before changing the oil to warm
it. Warm oil flows better and carries more contaminants.
1.
Move the machine to a level surface.
2.
Place an oil drain pan under the oil-drain plug, remove
the oil-drain plug, and tip the machine backward and
drain the used oil in the oil-drain pan (
Figure 17
).
