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 before operating the snow thrower. See Fig. 3-12.
Adjustments
Skid Shoes
The snow thrower skid shoes are adjusted upward at the factory
for shipping purposes. Adjust them downward, if desired, 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, raise the skid shoes
higher on the auger housing.
Use a middle or lower position when the area to be cleared is
uneven, such as 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.
To adjust the skid shoes:
Loosen the four hex nuts (two on each side) and carriage
1.
bolts. Move the skid shoes to the desired position. See
Fig. 3-13.
Make certain the entire bottom surface of the skid shoe is
2.
against the ground to avoid uneven wear on the skid shoes.
Retighten the nuts and bolts securely.
