Step 4 – Skid shoes installation and adjustments
1.
Locate the pair of skid shoes from parts bag and remove the bolts.
2. Loosely install the skid shoes using the bolts and hex nuts as
shown on each side of the auger housing. Make sure the skid shoe
tip faces out.
Adjustment of the skid shoes sets the height above the ground at which
the auger shave plate operates.
For clearing snow from concrete, asphalt, and other smooth surfaces, set the auger shave plate so that the
bottom of the plate is just above the ground.
For clearing snow from gravel, dirt, and other rough surfaces set the auger shave plate slightly above the
ground to avoid dirt and gravel from entering the auger.
The optimal height of the plate will vary depending on the type of surface being cleared. Surfaces with
larger gravel or stones require a higher shave plate setting.
3.
Move the Snow Thrower to a solid, smooth, and level surface.
4. Place a spacer board on the ground underneath the auger shave plate between the skid shoes. The
thickness of the board should be the same as the height above the ground you wish to raise the auger
shave plate. The skid shoes should not touch the board.
5. With the two (2) nuts loose allow the skid shoe to slide to the ground then tighten the nuts to secure
the skid shoe.
SNOW THROWER PREPARATION
PLEASE REFER TO ENGINE MANUAL (SEPARATE DOCUMENT) FOR ENGINE
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS.
The following section describes steps to prepare your Snow Thrower for use. If after reading this section,
you are unsure about how to perform any of the steps please call 1-800-791-9458 for customer service.
Failure to perform these steps properly can damage your Snow Thrower or shorten its life.
Review the SAFETY section in this manual and the ENGINE manual before operating the engine
and snow thrower.
WARNING! Keep the area of operation free from foreign objects that can be thrown by the auger and/or
impeller blades. Perform a thorough inspection of the area since some objects may be hidden from view
by surrounding snow. If the Snow Thrower hits an obstruction or picks up a foreign object during use,
stop the Snow Thrower, remove the obstruction, and inspect it for damage. Repair or replace any
damaged parts before restarting and operating you Snow Thrower.
•
Keep children, pets, and bystanders away from the area of operation. Be aware that the normal noise
of the Snow Thrower when turned on may make it difficult for you to hear approaching people.
•
Start your clearing path by throwing snow in a back and forth motion. To clear in the opposite
direction, stop your Snow Thrower and pivot it on its wheels to face the opposite direction. Make sure
to overlap clearing paths.
•
Determine the direction of the wind. If possible, move in the same direction as the wind so that the
snow is not thrown against the wind, back into your face and on the just cleared path.
