or repairs.
TO ADJUST SKID HEIGHT
This snow thrower is equipped with two
height adjustment skids, located on the out-
side ofthe auger housing (see figure be-
low). These skidselevate the frontof the
snow thrower.

r Housing
Height Adjust Skids
For normal hard surfaces, adjustthe skids
as follows:
• Check tire pressure (14 to 17 pounds).
• Place the extra shear bolts supplied
(found in parts bag) under each end of the
scraper bar near but not under the skid.
• Loosen the skid mounting nuts (see figure
above) and adjust the skids up to bring
the front ofthe snow thrower down. Re-
tighten the mounting nuts.
• Set the skid on the other side at the same
height.
For rocky or uneven surfaces, adjust the
skids as follows:
• Raise the front of the snow thrower by
moving the skids down. This willhelp pre-
vent rocks and other debris from being
picked up and thrown by the auger.
TO ADJUSTSCRAPER BAR
After considerable use, the metal scraper
bar will have a definite wear pattern. The
scraper bar may have to be returned to its
original lower setting to maintain the original
performance level. To adjust:
• Position the snow thrower on a level sur-
face.
• Make sure both tiros are equally inflated.
Proper tire pressure is 14 to 17 PSI. See
side of tire for maximum inflation. Do not
exceed sidewall maximum pressure on
tire.
• Loosen the carriage bolts and nutssecur-
ing the scraper bar to the auger housing.
• Adjust the scraper bar to the proper posi-
tion.
• Tighten the carriage bolts and nuts, mak-
ing sure that the scraper bar is parallel
with the working surface,
• For extended operation, the scraper bar
may be reversed. If the scraper bar must
be replaced due to wear, remove the car-
riage bolts and nuts and install a new
scraper bar.
CAUTION: Be certain to maintain proper
ground clearance for your particular area to
be cleared. Objects such as gravel, rocks
or other debds, ifstruck by the impeller,
may be thrown with sufficientforce to cause
personal injury, propertydamage or dam-
age tothe snow thrower.
TO ADJUST THE CLUTCH CONTROL
CABLES
Periodic adjustment of the cables may be
required due to normal stretch and wear on
the belts.To check for correct adjustment,
the controllever mustbe in the full forward
position,resting on the plasticbumper. The
controlcables are correctly adjusted when
the center of the "Z" fitting is in the center of
the hole and there isno droop in the cable.
See figure below.
