Adjustments
Skid Shoes
The snow thrower skid shoes are adjusted at the factory set
roughly 1/8” below the shave plate. Adjust them, if desired, prior
to operating the snow thrower.
CAUTION: Always place the Track Lock Lever in the
Gravel position before operating the snow thrower
on gravel surfaces. When operated in the Normal or
Packed Snow position, the snow thrower can easily
pick up and throw loose gravel, causing personal
injury or damage to the snow thrower and
surrounding property.
• For close snow removal on a smooth surface, raise skid
shoes higher on the auger housing.
• Use a middle or lower position when the area to be cleared
is uneven, such as a gravel driveway.
NOTE: If you choose to operate the snow thrower on a gravel
surface, keep the skid shoes in position for maximum clearance
between the ground and the shave plate.
To adjust the skid shoes:
1. Loosen the four hex nuts (a) (two on each side) and
carriage bolts (b). Move skid shoes to desired position.
See Figure 3-12.

2. Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid shoe is
against the ground to avoid uneven wear on the skid shoes.
3. Retighten hex nuts (a) and carriage bolts (b) securely.
