Drift Cutters
(If Equipped)
Drift cutters should be used when operating the snow thrower in
heavy drift conditions.
On models so equipped, drift cutters and hardware are
•
assembled to the auger housing inverted.
Remove the carriage bolts and wingnuts securing the drift
•
cutters to the housing.
Reposition drift cutters so they face forward as shown in
•
Figure 3-9. Secure with hardware previously removed,
wingnuts should be fastened on the
outside
of the
housing as shown.
If your unit is not equipped with drift cutters, you may contact
Customer Support as instructed on page 2 for information
regarding price and availability.
Tire 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.
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.
