•
If not already attached, slip the cables that run from
the handle panel to the chute into the cable guide
located on top of the engine. See Figure 4.
•
Recheck the adjustment before retightening the
jam nut against the cable.
Skid Shoe Adjustment
The space between the shave plate and the ground can
be adjusted by repositioning the skid shoes found on
either side of the snow throwers auger housing. For
close snow removal, place skid shoes in the low
position. Use middle or high position when area to be
cleared is uneven. See Figure 6.

•
•
Unwrap the headlight wire which is attached to the
headlight, beneath the handle panel. Wind the
headlight wire around the right handle until excess
slack is removed.
Plug the wire from the headlight into the wire lead
coming from the right side of the engine, beneath
the fuel tank.
Final Adjustments
Skid
Hex Nuts
Shoes
Auger Control Adjustment
Check the adjustment of the auger control as follows:
Figure 6
•
Push forward on the auger control (Refer to Figure
7) until the small rubber bumper contacts the upper
handle. There should be slack in the cable.
Release the auger control. The cable should be
straight. Make certain you can depress the auger
control against the left handle completely.
IMPORTANT: It is NOT recommended that this snow
thrower be operated on a gravel surface, as loose
stones can be easily picked up and thrown by the
machine. If you must operate on a gravel surface,
ALWAYS adjust the skid shoes into the HIGH position
to allow the shave plate maximum clearance.
•
If adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows:
Adjust skid shoes as follows:
•
Loosen the jam nut and thread the cable in (for less
slack) or out (for more slack) as necessary. See
Figure 5.
•
Loosen, but do NOT remove, the three hex nuts
which fasten the skid shoe to the auger housing.
•
Raise or lower the skid shoe to desired position.
NOTE: Make certain the entire base of both skid shoes
are against the ground to avoid uneven wear on the
skid shoes. When one side does wear out, the skid
shoes are reversable.
•
•
Retighten the hex nuts loosened earlier.
“Z” End
Jam Nut
Repeat this adjustment on the skid shoe found on
the opposite side of the snow thrower.
Tire Pressure Adjustment
The tires are over-inflated for shipping purposes.
Check tire pressure and reduce to between 15 psi and
20 psi.

NOTE: If the tire pressure is not equal in both tires, the
unit may pull to one side or the other.
