Tire Pressure (Pneumatic Tires)
The tires are over-inflated for shipping purposes. Check
and reduce tire pressure, if needed, to 10-15 psi.
Maintain equal pressure on both wheels of the snow
thrower.
Skid Shoe
The space between the 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.
NOTE: 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 you are
compelled 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.

•
Adjust skid shoes by loosening two hex nuts and
carriage bolts on each skid shoe, and moving the
skid shoe to the desired position. See Figure 3.
•
Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid shoe
is against the ground to avoid uneven wear on the
skid shoes.
•
Tighten nuts and bolts securely.
IMPORTANT:
Check all nuts and bolts for correct
tightness.
Drive Cable
•
Make sure that the drive cable is routed parallel to
the left upper handle, then across the top of the
lower handle and finally parallel to the right lower
handle. Cable ties (included in the plastic bag that
also contained this manual) should secure the
cable to the top of the lower handle. See Figure 4.

WARNING:
Maximum tire pressure under
any circumstance is 15 psi. Equal tire pressure
should be maintained at all times. Excessive
pressure (over 15 psi) when seating beads
may cause tire/rim assembly to burst with force
sufficient to cause serious injury
