driveway or walk, adjust the skids as follows:
® Make sure the weight transfer system is released.
To release, hotd upper handle firmly and push
down weight transfer pedal with the ball of your foot.
® Place extra shear bolts supplied (found in parts
bag) under each end of the scraper bar near but not
under the skid.,
e Loosen the skid mounting nuts (See Fig. 22) and
adjust the skid up to bring the front of the snow
thrower down. Re-tighten the mounting nuts.
e Set the skid on the other side at same height.
For rocky or uneven surfaces, raise the front of the snow
thrower by moving the skids down, This will help pr event
rocks and other debris from being picked up and thrown
by the auger
NOTE: If the skids are at the maximum height, the weight
transfer system will not work

a definite wear pattern The scraper bar in conjunction
with the skids should always be adjusted to allow 1t8"
