Adjust skid shoes by loosening the four hex nuts and
carriage  bolts  and  moving   skid  shoes  to  desired
position.  Make  certain  the  entire  bottom  surface  of
skid  shoe  is  against  the  ground  to  avoid  uneven
wear  on  the  skid  shoes.  Retighten  nuts  and  bolts
securely. See Figure 16
It  is  not  recommended  that  you  operate  this  snow
thrower  on  gravel  as   loose  gravel  can  be  easily
picked up and thrown by the auger causing an injury
or  damage  to  the  snow  thrower.  If  you  do  wish  to
use the snow thrower on gravel, refer to  Track Lock
Lever instructions in the Control section.

push  forward  on  the  left  hand  clutch  grip  (depress

straight.  Make  certain  you  can  depress  the  auger
drive clutch grip against the left handle completely.
If necessary, loosen the hex jam nut and thread the
cable  in  (for  less  slack)  or  out  (for  more  slack)  as
necessary.   Refer    to   Figure    15.   Recheck    the
adjustment.  Tighten  the   hex  jam  nut  against  the
cable when correct adjustment is reached.
