ADJUSTING SKID SHOE
The space between the shave plate and the ground
can be adjusted by adjusting the skid shoe. Slide the
skid shoe upwards and lower the housing to remove
snow close to the ground. Slide skid shoe
downwards and raise the housing to remove snow
from uneven ground like gravel. For more details,
refer to Adjusting the Skid Shoes in section 5.

adjusting the angle of the chute assembly. The
sharper the angle, the shorter the distance snow is
thrown.
