Adjusting the Skid Shoe Height
DANGER
This snowthrower contains a rotating auger that collects
snow. Fingers can quickly become caught and can result in
a traumatic amputation or a severe laceration.
• Turn the engine OFF. Wait for all moving parts to
stop. Remove the ignition key or push/pull key before
maintenance or repairs.
WARNING
If hit by the auger or impeller, objects such as gravel, rocks,
or other unwanted material can be thrown with sufficient
force and cause personal injury, property damage, or
damage to the snowthrower.
Skid shoes are on each side of the auger housing. They can
be adjusted to increase or decrease the distance between the
scraper bar and the surface to be cleared.
Set the skid shoes at the correct height to maintain ground
clearance for the type of surface being cleared.
1. Turn the engine OFF and remove the ignition key or
push/pull key.
2. Find the scraper bar clearance needed for the surface to
be cleared.
• To remove snow from hard surface areas, adjust the
skid shoes up to lower the scraper bar closer to the
surface.
• To remove snow from gravel-covered or uneven
surfaces, adjust the skid shoes down to raise the
scraper bar further from the surface. This will help
prevent rocks and other unwanted materials from
being picked up and thrown by the auger and
impeller.
3. Put the unit on a level surface.
4. Loosen the skid shoe mounting nuts (A, Figure 17) on
the skid shoe (B).

5. Under each end of the scraper bar (C, Figure 18), put a
wooden block (A, B) of the same thickness at the desired
clearance height.

6. Make sure that each skid shoe firmly touches the surface.
Then tighten the mounting nuts.
NOTICE To prevent contact with the auger, make sure
that the mounting nuts are outside of the auger housing.
