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.
CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called gaso-
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
NOTE: It is not recommended to operate the snow thrower
overgravelorrockysurfaces.Objectssuchasgravel,rocks
or other debris, can easily be picked up and thrown by the
