Chute Assembly
The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by
changing the angle of the chute assembly. To do so,
stop the engine by removing the ignition key and loosen
the plastic wing knobs found on either side of the
discharge chute. Pivot the chute upward or downward
before re-tightening the wing knobs.
Auger Control
Refer to Auger Control Test in the Operating Section to
adjust the auger control.
Skid Shoes
The space between the shave plate and the ground can
be adjusted. See Figure 19.
• 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.
Figure 19
WARNING: Do not operate this snow
thrower on gravel as loose gravel can be
easily picked up and thrown by the auger
causing injury to the operator and/or
damage to the snow thrower.
• Adjust skid shoes by loosening the four hex nuts
and carriage bolts. Move skid shoes to desired
position.
• Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid shoe
is against the ground to avoid uneven wear on the
skid shoes. Retighten nuts and bolts securely.
Carburetor
• Minor carburetor adjustment may be required to
compensate for differences in fuel, temperature,
altitude and load.
• Refer to the separate engine manual, packed with
your unit, for carburetor adjustment information.
WARNING: If any adjustments need to
be made to the engine while the engine is
running (e.g. carburetor), keep clear of all
moving parts. Be careful of muffler, engine
and other surrounding heated surfaces.
Adjusting Shift Rod
• Remove the hairpin clip and flat washer from the
ferrule and remove the ferrule from the shift lever.
Place the shift lever in the fastest forward speed
position.

with the hardware earlier removed.
Refer to Figure 7.

the handle panel. Refer to Figure 8.
NOTE: Make certain to check for correct adjustment
of the shift rod as instructed in the Final Adjustments
section before operating the snow thrower.

methods of operation. Follow the steps below for
adjustment. See Figure 20.
