AUGER HOUSING
Fixed Scraper
The skids are located on each side of the auger. The
skids are intended to be the component that touches
the ground and supports the auger. They are also the
means to adjust the auger height for different conditions
(Fig. 068).
Fig 068 MVC-769X
See the scraper adjustment procedure to adjust the
skids.
Note: The skids are reversible. When one side
becomes worn out, remove the skid and turn
it over for a new surface.
The scraper is attached with fi ve carriage head bolts with
locknuts. Install the new scraper but do not tighten the
bolts until the scraper is adjusted.
Fig 069 MVC-896X
Because the fi xed scraper is bolted solidly to the auger
housing it is intended to be raised slightly off the ground
to minimize catching on pavement cracks and solid
objects. The amount that it should be raised depends on
how rough the ground is. The scraper is adjustable as
the mounting holes are slotted (Fig. 069).
AUGER HOUSING COMPONENTS SCRAPER
The Power Max snow throwers are offered in two widths:
26” and 28” (66cm and 71cm). The augers, auger shaft,
housing, and scrapers are made in both widths, but all
other auger components are the same. The auger case
halves, gears, impeller and impeller shaft, chute, etc. are
interchangeable.
Removal of the auger and traction system components
from the auger housing is covered in the Auger Gearbox
Section and in the two traction drive systems sections
(non-wheel clutch and wheel clutch).
SKIDS
The scraper is a replaceable surface attached to the
leading edge of the auger housing. It is a wear part and
will need to be replaced periodically in the life of the
machine. There are two types of scrapers, fi xed and
pivoting.
