SERVICING YOUR SNOWBLOWER
Adjustment
1.Place the snowblower on a level
surface. (For track-type
snowblowers, step on the foot
pedal, and set the auger in the
middle position.)
2.Loosen the skid shoe bolts and
adjust the skid shoes to obtain
the auger ground clearance for
snow conditions recommended
below.
Adjust the right and left skid
shoes equally. Retighten the
bolts securely.
AUGER GROUND CLEARANCE RECOMMENDATIONS
Operation on rough or uneven surfaces with less than the
recommended auger ground clearance can damage the snowblower.
3.Loosen all the nuts and bolts
holding the scraper, and adjust
the scraper to the specified
ground clearance. Retighten the
nuts and bolts securely.
SCRAPER GROUND CLEARANCE
4.Inspect the scraper. Replace the
scraper if it is excessively worn.
