TO ADJUST SKIDS HEIGHT
This snow thrower is equipped with two height adjust-
ment skids, located on the outside of the auger housing
These skids elevate the front of the snow thrower°
For normal hard surfaces, adjust the skids as follows:
e Make sure the snow thrower is on a hard, level
surface and the weight transfer system lever is
released See page 12.
o Place extra shear bolts supplied (found in parts
bag) under each end of the scraper bar near but not
under the skids
@
Loosen the skid mounting nuts (See Fig 20) and
push the skids down until they touch the ground.
Retighten the mounting nuts
For rocky or uneven surfaces, raise the front of the snow
thrower by moving the skids down This will help prevent
rocks and other debris from being picked up and thrown
by the auger°
NOTE: tfthe skids are at the maximum height, the weight
transfer system will not work
TO ADJUST SCRAPER BAR
After considerable use, the metal scraper bar wilt have a
definite wear pattern. The scraperbar inconjunction with
the skids should always be adjusted to allow 1/8" be-
tween the scraper bar and the sidewalk or area to be
cleaned.
