SKID SHOE ADJUSTMENT
The space between the shave plate and the ground
can be changed by adjusting the skid shoe.
•
Return weight transfer lever to normal position be-
fore adjusting skid shoes.
•
For close snow removal, adjust skid shoes higher so
there is minimum gap between the shave plate and
the ground.

For snow removal from uneven ground like gravel,
adjust skid shoes down so there is sufficient clear-
ance between the bottom edge of shave plate and
the ground.
• Adjust skid shoes by loosening the four hex nuts
and carriage bolts, and moving skid shoes to de-
sired position. Make certain the entire bottom sur-
face of skid shoe is against the ground to avoid
uneven wear on the skid shoes. See figure 12.
