used to adjust the skid plates.
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.
