TirePressure
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. Use a manual pump or portable
electric tire inflator to prevent over-inflation.
NEVER USE AN AIR COMPRESSOR
Note: Equal tire pressure is to be maintained at all times for
performance purposes.
Adjustments
Skid Shoe
The snow thrower skid shoes are adjusted upward 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.
CAUTION: Operating a snow thrower equipped
with steel skid shoes may result in damage to
natural stone paver surfaces (e.g. sandstone,
-- bluestone, limestone). Refer to the Replacement
Parts or Attachments & Accessories sections for
information on available polymer skid shoes.
To adjust the skid shoes:
1. Loosen the four hex nuts (two on each side) and carriage
bolts. Move skid shoes to desired position. See Fig. 3-6.
2. Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid shoe is
against the ground to avoid uneven wear on the skid shoes.
3. Retighten nuts and bolts securely.
DischargeChute
I. Loosen the wing knob on the upper chute, adjust chute
and chute control to desired operating position.
