NOTE:
• Adjust the skid equally on both sides.
• Be sure to tighten the skid and scraper bolts securely after making
adjustment.
CAUTION:
Do not use the snow thrower on rough or uneven surfaces with the auger
ground clearance set for hard snow or surfaces.
This may cause serious damage to the snow blowing mechanism.
 Adjust the skid and scraper in the following cases
• When the auger interferes with the road surface while it is turning:
• When clearing the snow from the graveled road:
Raise the auger approximately 12 mm from the ground and secure the skid
in this position.
Secure the scraper by raising it 7 mm from the ground.
Do not clear the snow thoroughly from the ground. Leave some on the
ground to prevent gravel and other foreign material being caught in the
auger.
• To break down the hardened snow that dropped from the roof:
• When the snow is too hard to dig in, making the snow thrower rise on the
snow:
Raise the skid and scraper to the uppermost position of the adjustment
range with the auger in contact with the ground, and secure the skid and
scraper in position.
CAUTION:
Note that the road surface can be damaged and stones can be thrown out of
the auger if it comes in contact with the ground. Return the skid and scraper
to the original position when operating the snow thrower under normal
conditions.
