Use and Care Manual

If you choose to operate the snow blower on a gravel
surface, use extra caution and keep the skid shoes in
position for maximum clearance between the ground
and the scraper blade.
To adjust the skid shoes:
1. Loosen the four hex nuts (two on each side) and
carriage bolts. Move skid shoes to desired position.
2. Make sure 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.
Always adjust skid shoes after adjusting scraper blade
to prevent premature wear to scraper blade or damage
to auger housing.

AUGER CLUTCH AND DRIVE CLUTCH
When auger clutch lever or drive clutch lever is
released and in the disengaged position, the cable
should have very little slack.
Auger must stop within 5 seconds when the auger
clutch lever is released. If auger clutch does not
engage or disengage properly, adjust auger clutch
before operation.
If the snow blower’s drive is disengaging intermittently
during operation, or it drives when you release the drive
clutch lever, adjust the drive clutch before operation.
Both auger clutch and drive clutch can be adjusted as
follows:
1. Loosen lock nut on adjustment turnbuckle.
2. Turn the adjustment turnbuckle up and down to
increase cable tension or provide more slack.
3. Retighten lock nut.

If the spiral at the bottom of the chute crank lever is
not fully engaging with the chute assembly, the chute
bracket can be adjusted.
CHUTE BRACKET
Position the skid shoes based on surface conditions.
For removal of snow in normal conditions, such as
a paved driveway or sidewalk, place skid shoes in
the higher position to give a 1/8” (3mm) clearance
between the scraper blade and the ground. Use a
middle or lower position when the area to be cleared
is uneven.
SKID SHOES
It is not recommended to operate the snow blower
on gravel as it can easily pick up and throw by the
impeller, causing personal injury or damage to the
snow blower and surrounding property.
