SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS

SKID SHOE ADJUSTMENT

The skid shoes are mounted on each side of the spiral •

auger housing. They regulate the distance the scraper

plate is raised above the plowing surface. When

removing snow from a gravel driveway or and uneven

surface, it is advisable to keep the scraper plate as

high above the surface as possible to prevent possible

damage to the spiral auger. On blacktop or concrete

surface, keep the scraper plate as close to the surface

as possible.

Raise snow thrower off the ground and place a block •

under each end of the scraper plate. Loosen the six hex

nuts securing the skid shoes to the housing. Adjust the

skid shoes up or down and retighten the nuts securely.

Adjust both skid shoes to the same height to keep the

housing and the scraper plate level. See gure 31.

SPIRAL AUGERS

The spiral augers are secured to the auger shaft with •

two shear bolts and nylock nuts. If you hit a foreign

object or if ice jams the augers, the snow thrower is

designed so that the bolts will shear.

If the augers will not turn, check to see if the shear •

bolts have sheared. See gure 30. Two replacement

shear bolts and nylock nuts have been provided with

the snow thrower. For future use order part number

710-0890A shear bolt and number 47810 nylock nut.

CAUTION: Before servicing or adjusting

the snow thrower, shut off snow thrower and

ATV engines, remove the spark plug wire(s),

set the parking brake and remove the key

from the ignition.
