CAUTION:
Operating a snow thrower equipped
with steel skid shoes may result in damage to
natural stone paver surfaces (e.g. sandstone,
bluestone, limestone). Refer to the Replacement
Parts or Attachments & Accessories sections for
information on available polymer skid shoes.
To adjust the skid shoes:
1. Adjust skid shoes by loosening the six (three on each side)
hex nuts, washers, and carriage bolts securing the skid
shoes to the auger housing. Refer to Figure 3-9.

2. While observing the distance between the shave plate and
the ground, adjust the skids shoes up or down to achieve
the desired shave plate height. See Figure 3-9.
3. Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid shoes are
against the ground to avoid uneven wear on the skid shoes;
then tighten nuts and bolts securely.
Auger and Drive Control Cables
WARNING!
Prior to operating your snow thrower,
carefully read and follow all instructions below.
Perform all adjustments to verify your snow thrower
is operating safely and properly.
Testing Auger Drive Control
When the auger control is released and in the disengaged “up”
position, the cable should have very little slack. It should NOT be
tight. Refer to Figure 3-10.
1.
In a well-ventilated area, start the snow thrower engine as
instructed in the engine operator’s manual.
2. While standing in the operator’s position (behind the snow
thrower), engage the auger.
3. Allow the auger to remain engaged for approximately ten
(10) seconds before releasing the auger control. Repeat this
several times.
Chute Clean-Out Tool
The chute clean-out tool is fastened to the top of the auger
housing with a mounting clip and a cable tie at the factory. Cut
the cable tie bef ore operating the snow thrower. See Figure 3-8.

Tire Pressure
WARNING:
Under any circumstance do not exceed
manufacturer’s recommended psi. Equal tire pressure
should be maintained at all times. Excessive pressure
when seating beads may cause tire/rim assembly to
burst with force sufficient to cause serious injury.
Refer to sidewall of tire for recommended pressure.
The tires are over-inflated for shipping purposes. Check the tire
pressure before operating the snow thrower. Refer to the tire side
wall for tire manufacturer’s recommended psi and deflate (or
inflate) the tires as necessary.
NOTE:
Equal tire pressure is to be maintained at all times for
performance purposes.
Adjustments
Skid Shoes
The snow thrower skid shoes are adjusted upward at the factory
for shipping purposes. Adjust them downward prior to operating
the snow thrower.
CAUTION:
It is not recommended that you operate
this snow thrower on gravel as it can easily pick up
and throw loose gravel, causing personal injury or
damage to the snow thrower and surrounding
property.
For close snow removal on a smooth surface, adjust the skid
shoes so that the shave plate on the bottom of the auger
housing is just off the ground.
Adjust the skid shoes to a lower position to raise the shave plate
off the ground when clearing uneven areas, such as a ribbon
type driveway or 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.
