SKID SHOE
(rear-mount type)
Place the snowblower on a level
surface. (For track-type
snowblowers, step on the foot
pedal, and set the auger in the
middle position.)
Loosen the skid shoe nuts and
bolts, and adjust the skid shoes to
obtain the auger ground
clearance for snow conditions
recommended below. Adjust the
right and left skid shoes equally.
Retighten the nuts and bolts
securely.
Operation on rough or uneven surfaces with less than the
recommended auger ground clearance can damage the snowblower.
Loosen all the nuts holding the
scraper, and adjust the scraper to
the specified ground clearance.
Retighten the nuts securely.
Inspect the scraper. Replace the
scraper if it is excessively worn.
