Set-up
Adjust Skid Shoes
The snow thrower skid shoes are adjusted upward
at the factory for shipping purposes. Adjust them
downward, if desired, prior to operating the snow
thrower attachment.
CAUTION : It is not recommended that
you operate this snow thrower
attachment on gravel as it can easily pick
up and throw loose gravel, causing
personal injury or damage to the snow
thrower and surrounding property.
• For close snow removal on a smooth surface,
raise skid shoes higher on the auger housing.
• Use a middle or lower position when the
area to be cleared is uneven, such as a gravel
driveway.
NOTE: If you choose to operate the snow
thrower on a gravel surface, keep the skid
shoes in position for maximum clearance
between the ground and the shave plate.
CAUTION: Operating a snow thrower
equipped with steel skid shoes may result
in damage to natural stone paver
surfaces (e.g. sandstone, bluestone,
limestone). Refer to the Replacement
Parts or Attachments & Accessories
sections for information on available
polymer skid shoes.
To adjust the skid shoes:
1. Loosen the four hex nuts (two on each
side) and carriage bolts. Move skid shoes to
desired position. See Figure 3-9.
2. Make certain the entire bottom surface of
skid shoe is against the ground to avoid
uneven wear on the skid shoes.
3. Retighten nuts and bolts securely.

Discharge Chute
The position of the upper discharge chute can be
adjusted to control the distance that the discharged

discharge chute:
1. Loosen the wing knob on the upper chute,
adjust the chute to desired operating
position.
2. Tighten the wing knob on the upper chute
making sure the carriage bolt on the inside of
the discharge chute is correctly positioned.

3. To adjust the direction that the snow will
be thrown, use the handle on the upper
discharge chute to control the direction of
the discharged snow. Refer to Figure 3-10.
Shear Pins
A pair of replacement auger shear pins and bow
tie cotter pins are included with this snow thrower
attachment. See Figure 3-11. Store them in a safe
place until needed.
