Skid Shoes
The snow blower skid shoes are adjusted at the
factory set roughly 1/8" below the shave plate.
Adjust them downward, if desired, prior to
operating the snow blower.
CAUTION
Use extreme caution when on gravel and adjust auger
housing height to clear gravel or crushed rock surfaces to
avoid picking up and throwing gravel or crushed rock.
•
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.
NOTE: If you choose to operate unit on a
gravel surface, keep skid shoes in position for
maximum clearance between ground and
shave plate.
To adjust skid shoes:
1.
Loosen four hex nuts (a) (two on each
side) and carriage bolts (b). Move skid
shoes to desired position. See Figure
2-40.

NOTE: The skid shoes on your unit may
look slightly different (and have different
hardware) than ones shown in Figure 2-40.
2.
Make certain entire bottom surface of
skid shoe is against ground to avoid
uneven wear on skid shoes.
3.
Retighten hex nuts (a) and carriage bolts
(b) securely.
Shave Plate
NOTE: this procedure applies to units
equipped with adjustable shave plates only.
To adjust the shave plate:
1.
Allow engine to run until it is out of fuel.
Do not attempt to pour fuel from the
engine.
2.
Carefully pivot unit up and forward so
that it rests on auger housing.
3.
Loosen rear skid shoe bolts (a) on both
sides of auger housing and remove
carriage bolts (b) and hex nuts (c) which
attach shave plate (d) to the bottom of
the auger housing. See Figure 2-41.

Shift Cable (If Equipped)
If full range of speeds (forward and reverse)
cannot be achieved use the mounting holes
in the index bracket to adjust the shift cable
tension as follows:
1.
Place shift lever in fastest forward speed
position.
2.
Lift the shift cable index bracket (a)
up to create slack in the cable (b). See
(c)
Figure 2-42.

3.
Disengage the Z fitting (c) from the
index bracket.
4.
Select new mounting hole and reinsert
Z fitting into the index bracket.
Using the upper mounting holes will
loosen the shift cable. Using the lower
mounting holes will tighten the shift
cable.
5.
Reinsert the Z fitting into the index
bracket.
6.
To ensure proper shift cable tension
perform the following:
a.
Start the engine and place the shift
lever in the slowest forward speed.
Using the drive control, ensure the
unit moves forward.
b.
Place the shift lever in the slowest
reverse speed. Using the drive
control, ensure the unit moves in
reverse.
c.
If necessary continue to adjust
cable until the conditions in Steps
a and b are satisfied.

Auger Control
WARNING!
Prior to operating your unit, carefully read and follow
all instructions below. Perform all adjustments to
verify your equipment is operating safely and properly.
Refer to Controls & Operation section (page
13) for the location of auger control lever and
check adjustment as follows:
1.
When auger control lever is released and
in disengaged "UP" position, the cable
should have very little slack. It should
NOT be tight.
2.
In a well-ventilated area, start the snow
blower engine. Refer to your Engine
Operator's Manual.
3.
While standing in the operator's
position (behind the unit), depress the
auger control lever to engage auger.
4.
Allow auger to remain engaged for
approximately ten (10) seconds before
releasing auger control lever. Repeat this
several times.
5.
With auger control lever in disengaged
"UP" position, walk to front of machine.
6.
Confirm that auger has completely
stopped rotating and shows NO signs
of motion. If auger shows ANY signs
of rotating, immediately return to
operator's position and shut OFF engine.
Wait for ALL moving parts to stop before
readjusting auger control lever.
7.
To readjust the auger control cable,
loosen upper hex screw (a) unit auger
control bracket. See Figure 2-43.

10.
Repeat the steps 2 - 6 to verify proper
adjustment has been achieved.
