CHUTE ASSEMBLY
1. Install the discharge chute onto the chute flange on the
auger housing. The chute only rests on the flange.
2. Slide the chute rod through the mounting hole on the
left upper handle (Fig. 2).
3. Attach the chute rotation bar
to the mount bracket onto
the chute housing using two
screws, washers and
locknuts (Fig. 3). Tighten
fasteners securely.
SKID SHOES INSTALLATION AND
ADJUSTMENTS
1. Locate the pair of skid shoes from the parts bag
and remove the bolts.
2. Loosely install the skid shoes using the bolts
and hex nuts as shown on each side of the
auger housing (Fig. 4). Make sure the skid shoe
tip faces out.
a. Adjustment of the skid shoes sets the height above the ground at
which the auger shave plate operates.
b. For clearing snow from concrete, asphalt, and other smooth surfaces,
set the auger shave plate so that the bottom of the plate is just above
the ground.
c. For clearing snow from gravel, dirt, and other rough surfaces set the
auger shave plate slightly above the ground to avoid dirt and gravel
from entering the auger.
d. The optimal height of the plate will vary depending on the type of
surface being cleared. Surfaces with larger gravel or stones require a
higher shave plate setting.
3. Move the snowblower to a solid, smooth, and level surface.
