SKID SHOE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
DANGER: Amputation Hazard
The discharge chute contains a rotating impeller to throw
snow. Fingers can quickly become caught and traumatic
amputation or severe laceration will result. Hand contact with
the rotating impeller inside the discharge chute is the most
common cause of injury associated with snowthrowers.
Turn the engine OFF, wait for all moving parts to stop, and
remove the engine key before performing any maintenance or
repairs.
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 maintain
ground clearance for the type of surface being cleared.

This snowthrower is equipped with two height adjust skids,
secured to the inside of the auger housing. These elevate the
front of the snowthrower.
When removing snow from a hard surface area such as a paved
driveway or walk, adjust the skids up to bring the front of the
snowthrower down.
When removing snow from rock or uneven construction, raise the
front of the snowthrower by moving the skids down. This will help
to prevent rocks and other debris from being picked up and
thrown by the augers.
1. Determine how much clearance you want between the scraper
bar at the bottom of the auger housing and the ground. If
clearing a gravel surface, enough ground clearance is needed
to prevent the unit from picking up rocks.
2. Place a block equal to the desired ground clearance under the
scraper bar.
3. Loosen the skid shoe mounting nuts (A, Figure 12) 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.
