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 figure 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 figure 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.
