Chute Rotation Handle Assembly
and Installation
1. Connect the chute rotation handles (upper
and lower) using screws provided.
2. Install the stepped washer into the hole on the
bracket. Install the lower rod end of the chute
rotation handle through the hole and stepped
washer while aligning the rod spiral into the
chute base grooves.
3. Secure the lower rod by installing a flat
washer and cotter pin through the end of the
rod. Bend the ends of the pin to hold the pin in
place
4. Insert the chute rotation handle eyebolt into
the hole located half way up the left handle.
Secure with 2 cupped washers and hex nut.
Skid Shoe Installation and
Adjustment
1. Locate the pair of skid shoes from parts bag
and remove the bolts.
2. Loosely install the skid shoes using the bolts,
washers and hex nuts as shown on each side
of the auger housing.
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
just scrapes 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.
