Axle Lock Pin
(Figure 10)
Use the axle lock pin to lock or unlock the right or left
wheel. Lock both wheels to 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
wear.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT allow Scraper Blade to wear
too far or Auger/Impeller housing will become
damaged.
Runners
The runners control the distance between the scraper
blade and the ground. Adjust runners equally to keep
blade level with the ground. Refer to Pre-Start on
page 14 for recommended settings.
