Tire Pressure
WARNING!
Under any circumstance do not exceed
manufacturer’s recommended psi. Equal tire
pressure should be maintained at all times. Excessive
pressure when seating beads 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 thrower. Refer to the tire side
wall for tire manufacturer’s recommended psi and deflate (or
inflate) the tires as necessary.
NOTE:
Equal tire pressure is to be maintained at all times for
performance purposes.
Adjustments
Skid Shoes
The snow thrower skid shoes are adjusted at the factory for
shipping purposes. Adjust them downward, if desired, prior to
operating the snow thrower.
CAUTION:
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
NOTE:
If you choose to operate the snow thrower on a gravel
surface, keep the skid shoes in position for maximum clearance
between the ground and the shave plate.
