■
■ On electric start models, the unit was shipped with the starter cord
plugged into the engine. Before operating, unplug the starter cord from the

NOTE: This snow thrower was shipped WITH OIL in the

OPERATION section of this manual before starting engine.
CHECK THE TIRES
Check tires for damage. Check the air pressure in the tires with an
accurate gauge (see Figure 4).
CAUTION: Avoid Injury! Explosive separation of tire
and rim parts is possible when they are serviced
incorrectly.
• Do not attempt to mount a tire without the proper
equipment and experience to perform the job.
• Do not inflate the tires above the recommended pressure.
• Do not weld or heat a wheel and tire assembly. Heat can
cause an increase in air pressure resulting in an
explosion. Welding can structurally weaken or deform the
wheel.
• Do not stand in front or over the tire assembly when
inflating. Use appropriate tool that allows you to stand to
one side.
NOTICE: Check side of tire for maximum tire pressure. DO
NOT exceed maximum.
