Proper Chain Tension
Gauge Wheels or Skid Shoes
Inspect for paper adjustment of the gauge wheels or
skid shoes before each use.
IMPORTANT: Failure to maintain proper adjust-
ment of the gauge wheels or skid shoes can result in
accelerated wear of the scraper blade.
Optional skid shoes can be used instead of the
gauge wheels to operate the snowblower on soft
surfaces. Adjust the gauge wheels or optional skid
shoes as follows:
1. Park the tractor on a level surface and lower the
snowblower.
2. Loosen the bolts that fasten the gauge wheels
(or skid shoes) to the snowblower.
Adjust Gauge Wheels
3. Position the gauge wheels (or skid shoes) so
that the snowblower is level and the scraper
blade has light contact or slight clearance
with the surface.
4. Retighten the bolts that fasten the gauge
wheels (or skid shoes) to the snowblower.
