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 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 skid shoes to desired position. See Fig. 3-11.
Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid shoe is
2.
against the ground to avoid uneven wear on the skid shoes.
Retighten nuts and bolts securely.
