Skid Shoes Adjustment (Fig. 10)
Adjustmentoftheskidshoesgovernstheheightabovethegroundatwhichtheaugershaveplate
operates.
Forclearingsnowfromconcrete,asphalt,andothersmoothsurfaces,settheaugershaveplatesothat
thebottomoftheshieldscrapestheground.Forclearingsnowfromgravel,dirt,andotherrough
surfacestosettheaugershaveplateslightlyabovethegroundtoavoiddirtandgravelfromentering
theauger.Theoptimalheightoftheshieldwillvarydependingonthetypeofsurfacebeingcleared.
Surfaceswithlargergravelorstoneswouldrequireamoreraisedaugershieldplate.

2. Placeaspacerboardonthegroundunderneaththeau-

groundyouwishtoraisetheaugershaveplateto.The
skidshoesshouldnottouchtheboard(seeFig.10).
