WARNING
Thrown objects hazard
Objects such as gravel, rocks, or other debris, if struck
by the impeller, may be thrown with sufficient force to
cause personal injury, property damage, or damage to the
snowthrower.
Be sure to set the skid shoes at the proper height to main-
tain ground clearance for the type of surface being cleared.
This snowthrower is equipped with two skid shoes secured to
the outside of the auger housing. These adjust the height of
of the front of the snowthrower.
When removing snow from a hard surface area such as a
paved driveway or walk, raise the skid shoes to bring the
front of the snowthrower down.
When removing snow from gravel-covered or uneven surfac-
es, lower the skid shoes to bring the front of the snowthrower
up. This will help to prevent rocks and other debris from being
picked up and thrown by the augers.
1. Determine the clearance needed between the scraper
bar at the bottom of the auger housing and the ground.
2. Place a block with a thickness equal to the desired
ground clearance under the scraper bar.
3. Loosen the skid shoe mounting nuts (A, Figure 5) and
push the skid shoe (B) down until it touches the ground.
Re-tighten mounting nuts.
4. Set the skid shoe on the other side at the same height.
