walk, adjust the skids as follows:

Place the extra shear bolts supplied (found in pads
bag) under each end of the scraper bar near but not
under the skid.

® Loosen the skid mounting nuts (See Fig. 21), and
adjust the skids to allow the front of the snow thrower
to rest on the shear bolts, Retighten the mounting

NOTE: For graveled or uneven surfaces, raise the front
of the snow thrower by moving the skids down This will

and thrown by the auger.
