Chute Assembly Adjustment
Auger Control Adjustment
The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by
adjusting the angle of the chute assembly. The sharper
the angle, the shorter the distance snow is thrown. To
adjust the chute assembly, loosen the wing knob found
on the let side of the chute and pivot the upper portion
of the chute. Retighten the wing knob once the desired
position is reached. See Figure 8.
Refer to the information found under the heading Final
Adjustments in Section 3 of this manual to adjust the
auger control.
Skid Shoe Adjustment
The space between the shave plate and the ground can
be adjusted by raising or lowering the skid shoes. Refer
to Skid Shoe Adjustment in Section 3 of this manual.
Traction Control Adjustment

Adjustments in Section 3 of this manual to adjust the

in all positions of the shift lever.
With the traction control engaged, the friction wheel
must contact the drive plate. See Figure 10.
