ADJUSTMENTS
Skid Shoe Adjustment
On smooth surfaces such as concrete or asphalt, the
scraper bar should scrape the surface. On surfaces
such as gravel, the scraper bar should be set high
enough so that it will not pick up debris.
1. Loosen the nuts securing the skid shoes (see
Figure 9).
2. Raise or lower the scraper bar to the desired height.
Use wood blocks to hold the snowthrower in position.
3. Set the skid shoes so that they are in contact with the
ground and tighten the skid shoe nuts.
Lift Height Adjustment
To adjust the lift height:
1. Fully raise the attachment lift and shut off the engine.
Set the parking brake and remove the key.
2. Loosen the nuts (C, Figure 10).
3. Turn the lift height bolts (D) until the snowthrower is
at the desired height and level.
4. Hold the lift height bolts (D) in position and lock in
place with the nuts (C).
Downward Pressure Adjustment
1. Raise the lift until the the springs are not being com-
pressed (lift blade apx. 1” off ground). Shut off the
engine, set the parking brake, remove the key, and
support the attachment with wood blocks.
2. Loosen the nuts (E, Figure 10) until the springs are
loose, then tighten the nuts until the springs are com-
pressed 1/4”.

CAUTION
Do not over-compress the lift spring. In addition
to providing downward pressure, the spring is an
elastic medium that absorbs shocks caused by
bumps and cracks in ground surfaces. Over-com-
pressing the spring defeats this and could cause
damage to the unit.
Electric Chute Rotator Gear
1. Remove the plastic cover (B, FIgure 11) and loosen
the three taptite screws (A) securing the electric
spout rotator motor.
2. Adjust the motor so that it meshes with the discharge
chute ring gear and tighten the adjustment screws
(A).
