Checking and Adjusting the
Skids and Scraper
Checking and Adjusting the
Traction Cable
Service Interval: Yearly—Check the skids and the
scraper and adjust them if necessary.
Service Interval: After the first 2 hours—Inspect
the traction cable and adjust it if
necessary.
Check the skids and the scraper to ensure that the auger
does not contact the paved or gravel surface. Adjust the
skids and the scraper as needed to compensate for wear.
Yearly—Inspect the traction cable
and adjust or replace it if necessary.
1.
Check the tire pressure. Refer to Checking the Tire
Pressure.
If the snowthrower does not drive in the forward or
reverse speeds or it drives when you release the traction
lever, adjust the traction cable.
2.
Loosen the nuts that secure both skids to the
auger sides until the skids slide up and down easily
(Figure 41).
With the traction lever disengaged, check the pin in the
elongated slot in the left side of the snowthrower above
the tire. There should be a gap of 1/32 to 1/16 inch (1
to 1.5 mm) from the front of the slot to the front edge
of the pin (Figure 42).

1/2 inch (1.3 cm)
3.
Support the side plates so that they are at least 1/2
inch (1.3 cm) above a level surface.
Important: The auger blades must be
supported above the ground by the skids.

Ensure that the scraper is 1/8 inch (3 mm) above
and parallel to a level surface.
1/32 to 1/16 inch (1 to 1.5 mm)
Note: If the pavement is cracked, rough, or uneven,
adjust the skids to raise the scraper. For gravel
surfaces, adjust the skids further down to prevent
the snowthrower from picking up rocks.
If the left hand (traction) cable is not properly adjusted,
do the following steps:
1.
2.
Loosen the jam nut.
Loosen or tighten the turnbuckle to adjust the pin
until it is the proper gap from the front edge of the
slot.
5.
6.
Move the skids down until they are even with the
ground.
Firmly tighten the nuts that secure both skids to the
auger sides.
3.
Tighten the jam nut (Figure 43).
Note: To quickly adjust the skids if they loosen,
support the scraper 1/8 inch (3 mm) off the
pavement, then adjust the skids down to the
pavement.
Note: If the skids become excessively worn, you
can turn them over and set the unused side toward
the pavement.
