3.9 Installing the Skid Shoes
1.
Place the unit on a level surface. Lift auger housing and place a support of
desired thickness underneath the scraper bar.
a. If removing snow from a hard surface such as a paved driveway or
walk, use a thin support to keep the scraper bar close to the ground.
b. If removing snow from gravel-covered or uneven surfaces, use a
thicker support to keep the scraper bar further from the surface. This
will help prevent rocks and other debris from being picked up and
thrown by the impeller.

2. Thread the skid shoe mounting bolts through the auger housing and skid
shoes, loosely attach the nuts.
3. Allow each loose skid shoe to rest on the ground. Tighten the mounting
nuts to fix the shoes to this position.
