DANGER
This snowthrower contains a rotating auger that collects
snow. Fingers can quickly become caught and can result in
a traumatic amputation or a severe laceration.
• STOP the engine. Wait for all moving parts to stop.
Remove the ignition key or push/pull key before
maintenance or repairs.
WARNING
If hit by the auger or impeller, objects such as gravel, rocks,
or other unwanted material can be thrown with sufficient
force and cause personal injury, property damage, or
damage to the snowthrower.
The skid shoes are on each side of the auger housing.
They can be adjusted to increase or decrease the distance
between the scraper bar and the surface to be cleared.
Set the skid shoes at the correct height to maintain ground
clearance for the type of surface being cleared.
1. STOP the engine. Remove the ignition key or push/pull
key.
2. Find the scraper bar clearance needed for the surface to
be cleared.
• To remove snow from hard surface areas, adjust the
skid shoes up to lower the scraper bar closer to the
surface.
• To remove snow from gravel-covered or uneven
surfaces, adjust the skid shoes down to raise the
scraper bar further from the surface. This will help
prevent rocks and other unwanted materials from
being picked up and thrown by the auger and
impeller.
3. Put the unit on a level surface.
4. Loosen the mounting nuts (E, Figure 18) on the skid
shoe (H).

5. Under each end of the scraper bar, put a wooden block
(y, z, Figure 19) of the same thickness at the desired
clearance height.
