Replacement auger shear pins and bow tie cotter pins are 

included with your snow thrower. Store them in your snow 

thrower’s dash panel until needed. See Figure 3-10.

The chute clean-out tool and cord are fastened to the top of the 

auger housing with a mounting clip and a cable tie at the factory. 

Cut the cable tie before operating the snow thrower. See Figure 

3-11.

The snow thrower skid shoes are adjusted at the factory. Adjust 

them, if desired, prior to operating the snow thrower.

Always place the Track Lock Lever in the 

Gravel position before operating the snow thrower 

on gravel surfaces. When operated in the Normal or 

Packed Snow position, the snow thrower can easily 

pick up and throw loose gravel, causing personal 

injury or damage to the snow thrower and 

surrounding property.

• 

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.

NOTE: If you choose to operate the snow thrower on a gravel 

surface, keep the skid shoes in position for maximum clearance 

between the ground and the shave plate.
To adjust the skid shoes: 
1. 

Loosen the four hex nuts (two on each side) and carriage 

bolts. Move skid shoes to desired position. See Figure 3-12.

2. 

Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid shoe is 

against the ground to avoid uneven wear on the skid shoes. 

3. 

Retighten nuts and bolts securely.
