ADJUSTING THE SKID SHOES
The space between the shave plate and the ground
can be adjusted.
For close snow removal on a smooth surface, raise
the skid shoes into a high position on the auger
housing.
Use a middle or lower position when the area to be
cleared is uneven. See Figure 16.
Adjust skid shoes by loosening the four hex nuts
and carriage bolts and moving skid shoes to desired
position.
