HOW TO SET UP YOUR SNOW
THROWER (See III.3)
TO SET THE SKID HEIGHT
● For packing, the height adjust skids were mounted
on the inside of auger housing with the bottom lip
turned inward and the mounting hardware on the
inside. Remove skid mounting nuts (III.3) and re-
mount on outside of auger housing with lip outward,
and mounting hardware to the outside as shown in
III.3.
● To adjust skid height for different conditions, refer to
the Service and Adjustment section.
IF YOU ARE REMOVING SNOW FROM
ANY ROCKY OR UNEVEN SURFACES,
RAISE THE FRONT OF THE SNOW
THROWER BY MOVING THE SKIDS
DOWN. THIS WILL HELP TO PREVENT
ROCKS AND OTHER DEBRIS FROM BE-
ING PICKED UP AND THROWN BY THE
AUGER.
