Reassemble new skid shoes with the four carriage
bolts, bell washers (cupped side goes against skid

are adjusted to be level.
• To remove shave plate, remove the carriage bolts,
belleville washers and hex nuts which attach it to
the snow thrower housing.

of the carriage bolts are to the inside of the housing.
