3. Use only mild soap on a damp cloth to clean the battery
pack and charger, keeping away from all electrical
contacts. Certain cleaning agents and solvents are
harmful to plastics and other insulated parts. Some of
these include gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint
thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and
household detergents containing ammonia. Never use
flammable or combustible solvents around battery packs,
battery chargers or tools.

Check Tire Pressure
m
WARNING!
Under any circumstance do not exceed
manufacturer’s recommended PSI. Equal tire pressure
should be maintained at all times for performance purposes.
Excessive pressure may cause tire/rim assembly to burst with
force sufficient to cause serious injury. Refer to sidewall of tire
for recommended pressure.
The tires are over-inflated for shipping purposes. Check the
tire pressure before operating the snow blower. Refer to the
tire side wall for tire’s manufacturer’s recommended psi and
deflate (or inflate) the tires as necessary.
m
CAUTION!
Avoid injury. Explosive separation of tire and
rim parts is possible when they are serviced incorrectly:
• Do not attempt to mount a tire without proper equipment
and experience to perform the job.
• Do not inflate the tires above the recommended pressure.
• Do not weld or heat a wheel and tire assembly. Heat can
cause an increase in air pressure resulting in an explosion.
Welding can structurally weaken or deform the wheel.
• Do not stand in front or over the tire assembly when
inflating. Use a clip-on chuck and extension hose long
enough to allow you to stand to one side.
Replacing Skid Shoes
The skid shoes on the bottom of the snow blower are subject
to wear. They should be checked periodically and replaced
when necessary.
To replace skid shoes:
1. Position unit on a hard, flat, smooth level surface.
2. Remove the 4 hex nuts (2 on each side) and carriage bolts
which secure them to the snow blower (Fig. 27).
3. Install the new skid shoes by tightening the 4 sets of hex
nuts and carriage bolts on both sides , but leave the skid
shoes free to move for height adjustment.
4. Slide skid shoe to flat surface. Allow 1/8 in. (3 mm)
between scraper blade and hard smooth surface. Allow
1-1/4 in. (30 mm) between scraper blade and uneven or
gravel surfaces.
NOTE: Keep housing level by adjusting skid shoes
equally.
5. Retighten the 4 sets of hex nuts and carriage bolts on
both sides.
Replacing Scraper Blade
IMPORTANT! Damage to auger/impeller housing will result if
the scraper blade wears down too far.
To replace scraper blade:
1. Position unit on a hard, flat, smooth level surface.
2. Uninstall the skid shoes by removing the 4 hex nuts (2 on
each side) and carriage bolts which secure them to the
snow blower (Fig. 28).
3. Detach the worn scraper blade from the snow blower by
removing the 2 hex nuts and carriage bolts that hold it in
place (Fig. 28).
4. Install the new scraper blade and fasten it securely to the
snow blower with 2 hex nuts and bolts.
5. Reinstall the skid shoes by tightening the 4 sets of hex
nuts and carriage bolts on both sides.
