ADJUSTMENT
SKID SHOES
Position the skid shoes based on surface conditions.
For removal
of snow in normal conditions, such as
a paved driveway or sidewalk, place skid shoes in
)) the higher position to give a 1/8" (3mm) clearance
between
the scraper blade and the ground. Use a
middle
or lower position when the area to be cleared
is uneven.
»
If possible, do not operate the snow blower on gravel
as ithe impeller can easily pick up and throw stones
and gravel, causing personal injury or damage to the
snow thrower and surrounding property.
If you choose to operate the snow thrower on a gravel
surface,
use extra caution and keep the skid shoes in
position
for maximum clearance between the ground
and the scraper blade.
Always adjust skid shoes after adjusting scraper
blade
to prevent premature wear to scraper blade or
damage to auger housing.
