Adjustments
You can be seriously injured by the fan or
auger blades.
The blades spin and can cut or amputate your
hand or fingers.
Always stop the engine, remove the ignition
key, set the parking brake ON, and disconnect
the spark plug cap before attempting any
maintenance or adjustments.
For best possible performance, the SB2040 features a number of adjustments:
Skid Shoes
The skid shoes should be adjusted based on the
type of ground surface. For level, paved surfaces,
adjust the skid shoes to permit 5.0 - 6.5 mm 5/16'' HEX NUT (2
(3/16
-
1/4 inch) of clearance between the bottom
edge of the blower head and the ground. For
uneven or gravel surfaces, set the clearance to
13.0 - 16.0 mm (1/2 - 5/8 inch).
To adjust the skid shoe position, loosen (don't
remove) the two hex nuts on the skid shoe, position
the shoe as needed, then tighten the hex nuts.
Recheck the measurement and repeat if necessary.
