SKID SHOES
Snow blower skid shoes are adjusted at a factory setting roughly
1/8" below the shave plate. Adjust them upward or downward, if
desired, prior to operating.
Use extreme caution when operating on or near gravel and
adjust skid shoes to clear gravel or crushed rock surfaces to
avoid picking up and throwing objects which could cause
serious injury or property damage.
• For close snow removal on a smooth surface, raise skid shoes
higher on auger housing.
• Use a lower position when area to be cleared is uneven, such
as a gravel driveway.
IMPORTANT: If you choose to operate on a gravel surface, keep
skid shoes in position for maximum clearance between ground
and shave plate.
1. Loosen four hex nuts (a) (two on each side) and carriage bolts
(b). Move skid shoes to desired position (Figure 41).

NOTE: The skid shoes on your snow blower may look slightly
different (and have different hardware) than ones shown in
Figure 41.
2. Make certain entire bottom surface of skid shoe is against
ground to avoid uneven wear on skid shoes.
3. Securely tighten hex nuts (a) to carriage bolts (b).
ADJUSTABLE DRIFT CUTTERS (IF EQUIPPED)
The drift cutters are mounted inverted at the factory for shipping
purposes.
