Tire Pressure (If Applicable)
NOTE:
Not applicable to those units equipped
with airless tires.
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 tire pressure before
operating unit. Refer to tire side wall for tire
manufacturer’s recommended psi and deflate
(or inflate) tires as necessary.
NOTE:
Equal tire pressure is to be maintained
at all times for performance purposes.
Adjustments
Chute Assembly
NOTE:
Upper chutes on models with Four-Way
and Electric Chute Directional Control are
controlled by the Four-Way/Electric Chute
Directional Control Joystick. See Figure 3-1.
On units with E-Z Chute™, manual chute tilt,
the distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by
changing angle of chute assembly. To do so:
1.
Loosen wing knob found on left side of
chute assembly. See Figure 2-53.
Figure 2-53
2.
Pivot chute upward or downward before
retightening wing knob.
Skid Shoes
The snow thrower skid shoes are adjusted at
the factory set roughly 1/8” below the shave
plate. Adjust them downward, if desired, prior
to operating the snow thrower.
CAUTION:
Use extreme caution
when on gravel and adjust auger
housing height to clear gravel or
crushed rock surfaces to avoid
picking up and throwing gravel or
crushed rock.
•
For close snow removal on a smooth
surface, raise skid shoes higher on auger
housing.
•
Use a lower position when area to be
cleared is uneven, such as a gravel driveway.
NOTE:
If you choose to operate unit on a
gravel surface, keep skid shoes in position for
maximum clearance between ground and
shave plate.
To adjust skid shoes:
1.
Loosen four hex nuts (a) (two on each
side) and carriage bolts (b). Move skid
shoes to desired position. See Figure 2-54.

NOTE:
The skid shoes on your unit may
look slightly different (and have different
hardware) than ones shown in Figure 2-54.
2.
Make certain entire bottom surface of
skid shoe is against ground to avoid
uneven wear on skid shoes.
3.
Retighten hex nuts (a) and carriage bolts (b)
securely.
Shave Plate
To adjust the shave plate:
1.
If the engine is fuled, allow engine to run
until it is out of fuel. Do not attempt to
pour fuel from the engine.
2.
Carefully pivot unit up and forward so
that it rests on auger housing.
3.
Loosen rear skid shoe bolts (a) on both
sides of equipment housing and remove
carriage bolts (b) and hex nuts (c) which
attach shave plate (d) to auger housing.
See Figure 2-55.
