the auger housing and use it to remove
the clog from the discharge chute.

the surface being cleared. It also prevents
damage to the housing from normal usage.

wear too far or auger/impeller housing will
become damaged.
Skid Shoes
The skid shoes control the distance between
the scraper blade and the ground. Adjust skid
shoes equally to keep blade level with the
ground. Refer to
recommended settings.
