ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING! If the snow thrower is to be used on
gravel surfaces, use extreme caution to avoid
picking up gravel with the shave plate or auger.
Loose gravel can damage the auger or housing, and
could be thrown at high speed by the impeller—
causing possible injury to bystanders or damage to
surrounding objects.
Skid Shoe Adjustment
The skid shoes are mounted on each side of the auger housing.
They determine the distance the shave plate is raised above the
plowing surface. The shave plate should be high for a gravel
driveway or other uneven surfaces and low for paved surfaces.
Adjust the skid shoes as follows:
Raise the snow thrower assembly off the ground and a.
place a block under each end of the shave plate.
Loosen the hex insert lock nuts and bell washers b.
securing the skid shoes to the housing.
Move the skid shoes up or down to the desired c.
position and securely tighten the lock nuts. Adjust
both skid shoes to the same height. Refer to Figure
5-1. Remove the blocks.
Drift Cutters
Drift cutters on both sides of the auger housing can be adjusted
to the up position for a higher cut. Refer to Figure 5-2 and
proceed as follows:
Remove each drift cutter by removing the two a.
carriage bolts and hex insert lock nuts.
Turn the drift cutters to the up position and secure b.
with the carriage bolts and lock nuts as shown in
Figure 5-2.
Chute Bracket Adjustment
If the spiral at the bottom of the chute directional control is not
fully engaging with the chute assembly, the chute bracket can be
adjusted. To do so:
Loosen the two nuts which secure the chute bracket and 1.
reposition it slightly. See Figure 5-3.
Retighten the nuts.2.
