HOW TO SET UP YOUR SNOW
THROWER
TO SET THE SKID HEIGHT
For shipping, the height adjust skids are set at the lowest
point. To use your snow thrower, you need to check the
skid height and adjust the skids for surface conditions.
® Loosen the mounting nuts on the skids.
® Place the extra shear bolts (in the parts bag) under
each end of the scraper bar near but not under the
skids.
® Push each skid up or down until it touches the
ground and the scraper bar is resting on each shear
bolt. Be sure the skids are set at the same height on
both sides.
® Tighten the mounting nuts.
® To adjust the skids height for different conditions,
