Final Adjustments
Skid Shoes
The space between the shave plate and the ground can
be adjusted. For close snow removal, place skid shoes
in the low position. Use middle or high position when
area to be cleared is uneven.
• Adjust skid shoes by loosening the four hex nuts
and carriage bolts and moving skid shoes to
desired position. Make certain the entire bottom
surface of skid shoe is against the ground to avoid
uneven wear on the skid shoes. Retighten nuts and
bolts securely.

WARNING: Do not operate this snow
thrower on gravel as loose gravel can be
easily picked up and thrown by the auger
causing injury to the operator and/or damage
to the snow thrower.
Tire Pressure (Pneumatic Tires)
• The tires are over-inflated for shipping purposes.
Check tire pressure and reduce to 15 to 20 psi.
NOTE: If the tire pressure is not equal in both tires, the
unit may pull to one side or the other.
Auger Control
• To check the adjustment of the auger control, push
forward on the left hand control, depressing the
rubber bumper on end of control. There should be
slack in the cable. Release the control. The cable
should be straight. Make certain you can depress
the auger control against the left handle completely.
• If necessary, loosen the hex jam nut and thread the
cable in (for less slack) or out (for more slack) as
necessary. Recheck adjustment. Tighten jam nut
when correct adjustment is reached. See Figure 12.

Traction Control and Shift Lever
• To check the adjustment of the traction control and
shift lever, move the shift lever all the way forward
to sixth (6) position. With the traction control
released, push the snow thrower forward. The unit
should move forward freely. Then engage the
traction control grip. Wheels should stop turning.
• Now release the traction control grip, and push the
unit again.
• Move the shift lever back to the fast reverse
position, then all the way forward again. There
should be no resistance in the shift lever, and
wheels should keep turning.
• If you feel resistance when moving the shift lever or
the wheels stop when they should not, loosen the
jam nut on the traction control cable and unthread
the cable one turn. If the wheels do not stop when
you engage the traction control grip, loosen the jam
nut on the traction control cable and thread the
cable in one turn. Recheck the adjustment and
repeat as necessary. Tighten the jam nut to secure
the cable when correct adjustment is reached.
