Discharge Chute Crank
IMPORTANT: If chute does not stay in set
position, adjust as directed in SERVICE AND
ADJUSTMENTS on page 18, or repair before
operation.
Rotate the chute with the discharge chute
crank handle.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT force frozen chute
controls. If frozen, take to warm place until
controls are free.
Axle Lock Pin (Figure 10)
Use the axle lock pin to lock or unlock the
right or left wheel. Lock both wheels to
increase traction; unlock one wheel to allow
for easier turning of the unit.
NOTE: Unit will not drive with both wheels
unlocked.
Scraper Blade
The scraper blade allows better contact with
the surface being cleared. It also prevents
damage to the housing from wear.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT allow scraper blade to
wear too far or auger/impeller housing will
become damaged.
Skid Shoes
The skid shoes control the distance between
the scraper blade and the ground. Adjust skid
shoes equally to keep blade level with the
ground. Refer to Pre-Start on page 15 for
recommended settings.
