the low position. Use middle or high position when area to
be cleared is uneven.

and carriage bolts and moving skid shoes to desired
position. See Figure 16A or 16B.
2. Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid shoes
are against the ground to avoid uneven wear on the
skid shoes.

NOTE: Some models are equipped with reversible skid
shoes and may be turned over to increase their lifespan.

IMPORTANT
It is not recommended
that you operate this
snow thrower on gravel
as loose gravel can be
easily picked up and
thrown by the auger
causing personal injury
or damage to the snow
thrower.
If for some reason,
you have to operate
the snow thrower on
gravel, keep the skid
shoe in the highest
position for maximum
clearance between the
ground and the shave
plate.
