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,such as a gravel driveway.
1. Loosen the four hex nuts (Two on each
side) and carriage bolts.Move skid shoes to
desired position.
2 Make certain the entire bottom surface of
skid shoe is against the ground to avoid
uneven wear on the skid shoes.

OFF-SEASON STORAGE
WARNING: Never store snowblower with fuel in
tank indoors or in poorly ventilated areas, where
pilot light as on a furnace, water heater, clothes
dryer or gas appliance.
It is important to prevent gum deposits
from forming in essential fuel system parts of the
or tank during storage.
Alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol
or using ethanol or methanol)can attract moisture
which leads to separation and formation acids
during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel
system of an engine while in storage.
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should
be emptied before storage for 30 days or longer,
Follow these instructions to prepare your snow
thrower for storage:
1. Remove ALL gasoline from the carburetor
and the fuel tank to prevent gum deposits
from forming on these parts and harming the
engine.
2. Run the engine until the fuel tank is empty
and it stops due to lack of fuel.
3. Drain carburetor by pressing upward on bowl
drain, located below the carburetor cover.
Fuel stabilizer (such as STA-BIL) is
an acceptable alternative in minimizing the
formation of fuel gum deposits during storage.
Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage
container, Always follow mix ratio found on
stabilizer container. Run engine at least 10
minutes after adding stabilizer to allow it to reach
the carburetor. Do not drain carburetor if using
fuel stabilizer.
