8.

If the wheels can still be turned when you engage 
the drive control, loosen the jam nut on the drive 
cable and thread the cable in one turn. Recheck the 
adjustment and repeat if needed. 

9.

Tighten the jam nut to secure the cable when 
correct adjustment is reached.

NOTE: 

For further details, refer to the Adjustment

section on page 17.

Skid Shoe 

Locate the shave plate and the skid shoes in Figure 7 
on page 8. The space between this shave plate and 
the ground can be adjusted. For close snow removal, 
place skid shoes in the low position. Use middle or 
high position when area to be cleared is uneven.

IMPORTANT: 

It is not recommended that you operate 

this snow thrower on gravel as loose gravel can be 
easily picked up and thrown by the auger causing 
personal injury or damage to the snow thrower. 

If for some reason, you have to operate the snow 
thrower on gravel, keep the skid shoe in the highest 
position for maximum clearance between the ground 
and the shave plate. 

1.

Adjust skid shoes by loosening the four lock nuts 
and carriage bolts and moving skid shoes to 
desired position. See Figure 6.

2.

Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid 
shoes are against the ground to avoid uneven wear 
on the skid shoes. 

3.

Tighten nuts and bolts securely.

Figure 6

Tire Pressure (Pneumatic Tires)

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: 

If the tire pressure is not equal in both tires, the

unit may pull to one side or the other and the shave
plate will not sit level on the ground.

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.

Four-Way Chute Control™

The chute control lever may need to be lubricated to 
reduce its break-in period. Vegetable oil, petroleum jelly 
or motor oil can be used as lubricant.

IMPORTANT: 

This unit is shipped with engine oil in the 

engine, but without gasoline. After assembly, see 
OPERATION section of this manual for fuel selection 
and fill-up.
