ASSEMBLY
The extension cord is fastened with a cable tie to the rear of the auger
housing for shipping purposes. Cut the cable tie and remove it before
operating the snow thrower.
Shear Pin Storage
Two replacement auger shear pins are included with your snow
thrower. They may be packed with this manual, or stowed in the snow
thrower’s dash panel. See Figure 8. Refer to Augers on page 14 for
more information regarding shear pin replacement.
Adjustments
Auger Control
IMPORTANT: Prior to operating your snow thrower, refer to Auger
Control Test on page 12. Read and follow all instructions carefully and
perform all adjustments to verify your snow thrower is operating safely
and properly.
Skid Shoes
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.
The snow thrower skid shoes are adjusted at the factory for normal
operation. If 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. Refer to Skid Shoes on page 18.
Tire Pressure
Before operating, check tire pressure and reduce pressure in both tires
to between 15 psi and 20 psi.
NOTE: If the tire pressure is not equal in both tires, the unit may not
travel in a straight path and the shave plate may wear unevenly.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT, under any circumstance, exceed manufactur-
er’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.
