4. Push down on the handles to allow the pivoting
scraper to move fully forward, then set the front
of the machine down so that the front edge of the
pivoting scraper contacts the ground (Figure 46).

5. Move the skids down until they are even with the
ground.
Note:
For a smooth surface, you can set the skids
slightly higher to increase the scraping action, but
set the skids far enough down to prevent the auger
blades from contacting the ground.
Note:
The pivoting scraper on the machine is
not recommended for use on gravel surfaces.
But if you must use the machine on a gravel surface,
adjust the skids further down to prevent the pivoting
scraper from picking up rocks.
6. Firmly tighten the nuts that secure both skids to the
auger sides.
Note:
If the skids become excessively worn, you
can turn them over and set the unused side toward
the pavement.
Checking and Adjusting the
Traction Cable
Service Interval:
After the first 2 hours—Inspect
the traction cable and adjust it if
necessary.
Yearly—Inspect the traction cable
and adjust or replace it if necessary.
If the machine does not drive in the forward or reverse
speeds or it drives when you release the traction lever,
adjust the traction cable.
With the traction lever disengaged, check the pin in the
elongated slot in the left side of the machine above the
tire. There should be a gap of 1/32 to 1/16 inch (1 to
1.5 mm) from the front of the slot to the front edge of
the pin (Figure 47).

Pin
If the left hand (traction) cable is not properly adjusted,
do the following steps:
1. Loosen the jam nut.
2. Loosen or tighten the turnbuckle to adjust the pin
until it is the proper gap from the front edge of the
slot.
3. Tighten the jam nut (Figure 48).
