Skid Shoes
The space between the shave plate and the ground can be
adjusted by raising or lowering the skid shoes.
For close snow removal, as when using on a smooth concrete
or asphalt driveway, place the skid shoes in the low position.
Use the middle or high position when the area to be cleared is
uneven. When operating on gravel, always put skid shoes in the
high position. See Figure 3-14.
Adjust skid shoes as follows:
Loosen, but do not remove, the hex flange locknuts which 1.
fasten the skid shoe to the auger housing.
Raise or lower the skid shoe to desired position.2.
Retighten the hex nuts loosened earlier.3.
NOTE: Make certain the bottom surface of skid shoe is flat
against the ground to avoid uneven wear.
Repeat on the other side of the snow thrower.4.
Tire Pressure
The tires are over-inflated for shipping purposes. Check the tire
pressure before operating the snow thrower. Refer to the tire side
wall for tire manufacturer’s recommended psi and deflate (or
inflate) the tires as necessary.
WARNING: Under any circumstance do not
exceed manufacturer’s recommended psi. Equal
tire pressure should be maintained at all times.
Excessive pressure when seating beads may cause
tire/rim assembly to burst with force sufficient to
cause serious injury. Refer to sidewall of tire for
recommended pressure.
Thread the Nylock nut outward (down the coupler) to •
provide more slack in the cable and reattach the spring to
the bracket.
Repeat auger control test to verify for proper adjustment. •
Repeat previous steps to adjust more, if necessary.
