Tire Pressure (If Applicable)
NOTE: Not applicable to models 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. Refer to tire side wall for tire
manufacturer’s recommended psi and adjust pressure, if
necessary.
NOTE: Equal tire pressure is to be maintained at all times for
performance purposes.
Adjustments
Skid Shoes
Snow blower skid shoes are adjusted at a factory setting roughly
1/8” below the shave plate. Adjust them upward or downward, if
desired, prior to operating.
WARNING
Use extreme caution when operating on or near gravel and
adjust skid shoes to clear gravel or crushed rock surfaces to
avoid picking up and throwing objects which could cause
serious injury or property damage.
• 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.
IMPORTANT: If you choose to operate on a gravel surface, keep
skid shoes in position for maximum clearance between ground
and shave plate.
1. Loosen four hex nuts (a) (two on each side) and carriage bolts
(b). Move skid shoes to desired position (Figure 47).

NOTE: The skid shoes on your snow blower may look slightly
different (and have different hardware) than ones shown in
Figure 47.
2. Make certain entire bottom surface of skid shoe is against
ground to avoid uneven wear on skid shoes.
3. Securely tighten hex nuts (a) to carriage bolts (b).
