How to replace the skid shoe on your Yard Man electric snowblower

• Unplug the snowblower power cord to disconnect electrical power.
• Wear work gloves to protect your hands.
• Loosen and remove skid shoe mounting nuts. Pull the skid shoe off of the housing.
• Position the new skid shoe on the mounting bolts and finger tighten the nuts.
• Place corrugated cardboard under the scraper blade to hold the blade about ¼-inch off the ground. Lower the skid shoe so that it contacts the ground. Tighten the mounting nuts with the ½-inch wrench.

Yard Man electric snowblower snow clearing tips

• To avoid running over the power cord, start at the top corner of your driveway and clear 5-foot sections across the driveway. Continue clearing additional sections until you reach the end of the driveway.
• You can also follow a diagonal clearing pattern to avoid cord damage. Start in the middle of the driveway and clear snow diagonally to the edge of the driveway. Pull straight back and clear snow diagonally on the opposite side of the driveway. Repeat until you reach the end of the driveway.
• One other method of clearing snow without damaging the power cord is to use a mid-point clearing pattern. Start by clearing a row down the center of your driveway until you reach the edge. Work your way back to the top of the driveway by clearing from the center to each edge of the driveway until you reach the top.
