MAINTENANCE
WARNING!
Never perform maintenance while your Snow Thrower is running. Turn OFF the engine
before performing any maintenance tasks on your Snow Thrower.
Proper maintenance of your Snow Thrower will help prolong its life. Please perform the following
maintenance procedures as required.
Please read the ENGINE manual for engine maintenance procedures.
Do not attempt to repair your Snow Thrower unless you have the proper tools and instructions for
disassembly and repair.
Check the bolts at frequent intervals for proper tightness to ensure that the equipment is in safe working
condition.
After each snow removal session, run the Snow Thrower for a few minutes to prevent the collector

TIRE INFLATION
Before each use of your Snow Thrower, check the tire pressure. The pressure in each tire should be in the
range of 20-24 psi for the best performance. The pressure can be checked using an ordinary tire pressure
gauge. Fill the tires using a small or pressure regulated air compressor.
WARNING! DO NOT OVER-INFLATE THE TIRES.
Over-inflating could cause a tire to burst and
cause severe bodily injury.
