OPERATION
TO ADJUST SKID PLATES (See Fig. 17)
NOTE: The  wrench provided  in your  parts bag may  be
used to adjust the skid plates.
WARNING:  Wipe off any spilled oil or
fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline
near an open flame.
Skid plates are located on each side of the auger housing
and adjust the clearance between the scraper bar and the
ground surface. Adjust skid plates evenly to proper height
for  current surface  conditions.  For removal  of  snow  in
normal conditions, such as a paved driveway or sidewalk,
place skid  plates in the highest  position (lowest scraper
clearance) to give a  1/8" clearance between the scraper
bar and the ground.  Use a  middle position if the surface
to be cleared is uneven.

hol or using ethanol  or methanol) can attract
moisture which leads to separation and forma-
tion of 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 of
30
days or longer.   Empty the  gas tank, start
