ASSEMBLY
ADJUSTMENTS
Skid Shoes
The snow thrower skid shoes are adjusted upward at the factory for
shipping purposes. Adjust them downward, if desired, prior to operat-
ing the snow thrower.
• For close snow removal on a smooth surface, raise skid shoes
higher on the auger housing.
• Use a middle or lower position when the area to be cleared is
uneven, such as a gravel driveway
NOTE
: If you choose to operate the snow thrower on a gravel surface,
keep the skid shoes in position for maximum clearance between the
ground and the shave plate.
To adjust the skid shoes:
1. Loosen the hex nuts , washers (if equipped) and carriage bolts.
Move skid shoes to desired position. See Figure 16 and Figure 17.
2. Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid shoe is against the
ground to avoid uneven wear on the skid shoes.
3. Retighten nuts, washers (if equipped) and bolts securely.
