Shave Plate and Skid Shoes
The shave plate and skid shoes on the bottom of the
snow thrower are subject to wear. They should be
checked periodically and replaced when necessary. To
remove the skid shoes, proceed as follows:
• Remove the six carriage bolts, bell washers, and
hex nuts which attach them to the snow thrower.
• Reassemble new skid shoes with the six carriage
bolts, bell washers (cupped side goes against skid
shoes) and hex nuts. Make certain the skid shoes
are adjusted to be level.
To remove shave plate, remove the carriage bolts, bell
washers, and hex nuts which attach it to the snow
thrower housing. Reassemble new shave plate, making
sure heads of the carriage bolts are to the inside of the
housing. Tighten securely.
