The space between the shave plate and the ground can 
be adjusted by raising or lowering the skid shoes. 
For close snow removal, as when using on a smooth 
concrete or asphalt driveway, place the skid shoes in the 
low position. Use the middle or high position when the 
area to be cleared is uneven. When operating on gravel, 
always put skid shoes in the high position.
See Figure 5-4.
Adjust skid shoes as follows:
1.  Loosen, but do not remove, the hex flange locknuts 

which fasten the skid shoe to the auger housing.

2.  Raise or lower the skid shoe to desired position.
3.  Retighten the hex nuts loosened earlier.
NOTE: Make certain the bottom surface of skid shoe is 
flat against the ground to avoid uneven wear.
4.  Repeat on the other side of the snow thrower.

Refer to instructions on page 9 to adjust the auger 
control. Make certain to check for correct adjustment as 
instructed before operating the snow thrower.

The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by adjusting 
the angle of the chute assembly. Refer to page 9 for 
instructions.
The remote chute control cables have been pre-adjusted 
at the factory. Move the remote chute lever on the control 
panel back and forward to adjust angle of the chute 
assembly.

If the spiral at the bottom of the chute directional control 
is not fully engaging with the chute assembly, the chute 
bracket can be adjusted. To do so:
1.  Loosen the two nuts which secure the chute bracket 

and reposition it slightly. See Figure 5-5.

2.  Retighten the nuts.
