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.
Fig. 2
Fig. 3

4. Place a spacer board on the ground underneath the auger shave plate
between the skid shoes. The thickness of the board should be the same as
the height above the ground you wish to raise the auger shave plate. The
skid shoes should not touch the board.
5. With the two (2) nuts loose allow the skid shoe to slide to the ground then
tighten the nuts to secure the skid shoe.
OPERATION
WARNING! Do not place any body part in the chute or auger housing when
the engine is running or control handles are engaged, even if you do not see
the auger or impeller rotating. The auger and impeller rotate at fast speeds
which can cause harm or amputation. Shut the engine off, disengage all
control handles and use the clean-out tool to remove obstructions.
Consult the separate engine manual for instructions on preparation
and operation.
PREPARATION BEFORE EACH USE

and two reverse speeds. The forward speed settings
start with 1 as the slowest speed and 6 as the
fastest. Reverse speed has R1 for the slowest
reverse speed and R2 as the faster reverse speed.
There is no neutral drive setting since the drive
control handle must be engaged for movement.
Neutral is achieved when the drive control handle is disengaged.
CHUTE DISCHARGE DIRECTION
The discharge chute may be angled across a 180º degree range from right to
left to eject snow in a safe direction. Rotate the chute deflector lever (B) to
adjust the chutes angle, clockwise for left and counterclockwise for right.
CHUTE DISCHARGE ANGLE
WARNING! Always disengage the drive and auger control handles before making
adjustments. Make sure the augers are
stopped and the machine is not moving.
The angle of the chute deflector controls the
discharge distance of the snow. Raising the
angle will increase the distance. Lowering
the angle will decrease the distance.
1. Loosen the knobs on the chute
deflector and adjust the chute deflector to the desired angle (Fig. 7).
2. Retighten the knobs. Do not over-tighten.

DRIVE SPEED CONTROL CABLE ADJUSTMENT
WARNING! Entanglement Hazard – Use caution when performing the speed
control cable adjustment.
The speed control lever is connected to two cables that work in tandem to
control machine speed and direction. As the speed control lever is moved from
forward to reverse gears, one cable is pulled and one is pushed (Fig. 10).
Depending on if the cable setting towards
forward or reverse, adjustment of the
cables will vary.
To adjust the cables, one cable should be
moved up and the other down equally in
their respective brackets until there is a
positive direction change when the lever is
shifted between F1 and R1. The middle
position between these two settings is
neutral (there is no actual neutral ‘notched’ position on the control panel).
1. With the engine running engage the drive control handle and move the
speed control lever between 1 and R1 to determine which way the cables
need to be adjusted. Release the drive control handle when shifting
between gears.
