Set up the skid shoes (Fig. 9)
The snow thrower skid shoes are adjusted upward at the factory for
shipping purposes. Adjust them downward, if desired, prior to operating
the snow thrower.
Warning!
It is not recommended that you operate this snow thrower on
gravel as it can easily pick up and throw loose gravel, causing personal
injury or damage to the snow thrower and surrounding property.
For close snow removal on a smooth surface, raise skid shoes higher
on the auger housing. Use a middle or lower position when the area
to be cleared is uneven, such as a gravel driveway. To adjust the skid
shoes:
1. Loosen the four hex nuts (two on each side) and carriage bolts.
Move skid shoes to desired position
2. Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid shoe is against the
ground to avoid uneven wear on the skid shoes.
3. Retighten nuts and bolts securely.

Tire pressure
Before operating, check tire pressure and reduce pressure in both tires
to between 15 psi and 20 psi.
NOTE:
If the tire pressure is not equal in both tires, the machine may
not travel in a straight path and the shave plate may wear unevenly.
Fuel recommendations (Fig. 10)
Use automotive gasoline (unleaded or low leaded to minimize
combustion chamber deposits) with a minimum of 87 octane. Gasoline
with up to 10% ethanol or 15% MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) can
be used. Never use an oil/gasoline mixture or dirty gasoline. Avoid
getting dirt, dust, or water in the fuel tank. DO NOT use E85 gasoline.
Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped.
