Troubleshooting, Adjustments, & Service
Figure 5. Adjusting Skid Shoes
Skid Shoe Adjustment
On smooth surfaces such as concrete or asphalt, the
scraper bar should scrape the surface. On surfaces
such as gravel, the scraper bar should be set high
enough so that it will not pick up debris.
1. Loosen the nuts securing the skid shoes (see
Figure 5).
2. Raise or lower the scraper bar to the desired height.
Use wood blocks to hold the snowthrower in position.
3. Set the skid shoes so that they are in contact with the
ground and tighten the skid shoe nuts.
Electric Chute Rotator Gear
1. Remove the cover and loosen the three screws (A,
Figure 6 or 7) securing the electric spout rotator
motor.
2. Adjust the motor so that it meshes with the discharge
chute ring gear and tighten the adjustment screws
(A).
3. Reinstall the cover.
Auger Shear Pins
The auger shear pins (A, Figure 8) are designed to break
if the auger strikes an object. Replace the shear pins
with original factory specification shear pins ONLY.
Impeller Shear Bolt
The impeller shear bolt is designed to break if the auger
strikes an object. The impeller shear bolt is located in
the impeller shaft between the impeller and auger gear
box. Replace the shear bolt ONLY with a 5/16-18 x 1
Grade 5 bolt.
