GENERAL OPERATION
Operation - 17
Transport of Snow Blower
Transport the snow blower with the power unit front
hitch and snowblower raised to reduce wear of the
equipment. Travel slowly when transporting over undu-
lating or rough surfaces to maintain control of power
unit and to reduce the shock to the machine. Travel
slowly when transporting on slippery surfaces. Always
disengage the PTO before transporting the snow
blower.
Discharge Chute Rotation
Move the secondary S.D.L.A. lever to the left or right
and hold in position to rotate the discharge chute.
When the discharge chute is pointed in the desired
direction, release the secondary S.D.L.A. lever to
stop chute rotation.
Discharge Chute Deflector Adjustment
(Manual)
Release the discharge chute adjustment link by pull-
ing to the side. Adjust the discharge chute deflector
to the desired angle. Engage the discharge chute
adjustment link to lock in place.
Discharge Chute Deflector Adjustment
(Optional Actuator Control)
Use the power unit’s momentary switch(es) to adjust
the angle of the discharge chute deflector. Hold the
switch until the discharge chute deflector reaches
the desired angle, then release the switch.
Rear Skid Shoe Adjustment
Skid shoes are provided to keep the cutting edge off
the surface to be cleaned, especially when clearing
snow from gravel driveways or roadways.
The rear skid shoe height is determined by the
placement of spacer washers between the skid shoe
and the skid shoe mount. Extra spacer washers are
stored on top of the skid shoe mount.
Determine the number of spacer washers that need
to be moved to reach the desired skid shoe height.
When making adjustments with the snow blower
in the raised position, the snow blower must be
supported securely with blocks or jack stands.
Hydraulic drift or accidental release of hydraulic
pressure could allow the snow blower to lower
and trap a person or appendage, if the snow
blower is not securely supported.
Raise the snow blower to the highest position and
support securely with blocks or jack stands.
Remove the lynch pin (A) and the spacer washers (B)
from the top of the skid shoe mount.

Add or remove
washers to adjust
skid shoe height.
Remove the skid shoe from the bottom of the skid
shoe mount. Add or remove spacer washers to reach
the desired skid shoe height and insert the skid shoe
into the skid shoe mount. Place any extra spacer
washers on top of the skid shoe mount and fasten
skid shoe in place with the lynch pin. Both the right
and left skid shoes should be set at the same height.
Remove the blocks or jack stands and lower the
snow blower to the ground.
Front Skid Shoe Adjustment
With the power unit and snow blower parked on a
level surface and the rear skid shoes set at the cor-
rect height, lower the snow blower until the rear skid
shoes are resting on the ground. Set the front skid
shoes at the desired position.
