increase traction; unlock one wheel to allow
for easier turning of the unit.
NOTE: Unit will not drive with both wheels
unlocked.
Scraper Blade
The scraper blade allows the back of the
housing to keep better contact with the
surface being cleared. It also prevents
damage to the housing from normal use.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT allow Scraper Blade
to wear too far or Auger/Impeller housing will
become damaged.
Skid Shoes
The skid shoes control the distance between
the scraper blade and the ground. Adjust skid
shoes equally to keep blade level with the
ground. Refer to Pre-Start on page 19 for
recommended settings.
