FINAL ASSEMBLY AND
ADJUSTMENTS
•
Insert the (optional) remote chute ca-
bles into the cable control wire, located
on top of the engine. See Figure 15.
•
The space between the shave plate and
the ground can be adjusted. For close
snow removal, place slide shoes in the
low position. Use middle or high posi-
tion when area to be cleared is uneven.
See Figure 16.
NOTE:
Some models are equipped
with reversible slide shoes as
shown in Figure 17.
Adjust slide shoes by loosening the hex
nuts, washers (if equipped) and car-
riage bolts and moving slide shoes to
desired position. Make certain the entire
bottom surface of slide shoe is against
the ground to avoid uneven wear on
the slide shoes. Tighten bolts securely.
CHUTE CLEAN-OUT TOOL
The chute clean-out tool is conveniently
fastened to the rear of the auger hous-
ing with a mounting clip. Use the
clean-out tool to clear snow and ice
which may lodge in the discharge chute
during operation. Refer to the Operation
section for more detailed information re-
garding the chute clean-out tool.
