Step 3: Installing The Chute Assembly
1. Insert Lower Discharge Chute/Support Tube Assembly into the designated Chute opening for
the Lower Discharge Chute, while inserting the Support Tube into the designated base of the
Frame. (See Figure 4).
2. Secure Support Tube to base with (2) Screws and nuts provided
Step 4 : Skid Shoes Installation and Adjustments
1. Locate the set of skid shoes from parts bag and remove the bolts.
2. Loosely install the skid shoes using the bolts and hex nuts as shown on each side of the auger
housing. Make sure the skid shoe tip faces out.
Adjustment of the skid shoes sets the height above the ground at which the auger shave plate operates.
For clearing snow from concrete, asphalt, and other smooth surfaces, set the auger shave plate so that
the bottom of the plate is just above the ground.
For clearing snow from gravel, dirt, and other rough surfaces set the auger shave plate slightly above the
ground to avoid dirt and gravel from entering the auger.
The optimal height of the plate will vary depending on the type of surface being cleared. Surfaces with
larger gravel or stones require a higher shave plate setting.
3. Move the snow thrower to a solid, smooth, and level surface.
