SKID SHOE ADJUSTMENT
The skid shoes should be lowered to raise the
blower housing to clear gravelled or rough surfaces.
If necessary, adjust up until almost even with the
edges of the housing, to effectively clear smooth
paved surfaces. Note that the skid shoes can be in¬
stalled upside down to track better over icy or hard¬
paced surfaces. To adjust the skid shoes, place a
wood block under the lower edge of the blower hous¬
ing. Loosen the retaining nuts and slide shoe up or
down to desired height. Retighten the nuts. Set both
skid shoes in the same position. Remove block. See
Figure 3.7.
