Tire Pressure

The proper inflation pressure is 20 psi. Check the tire pressure periodically and maintain equal pressure in both tires at all times. Excessive pressure (well above 20 psi) may cause the wheel (tire/rim) assembly to burst with sufficient force to cause serious injury. Do not over-inflate the tire. Use a manual pump or portable electric tire inflator to prevent over-inflation. NEVER USE AN AIR

COMPRESSOR.

Skid Shoe

The space between the shave plate and the ground can be adjusted. See Figure 7. For close snow removal, place skid shoes in the low position. When the area to be cleared is uneven, place skid shoes in the middle or high position. See Figure 4.

1.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 4.

2.Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid shoe is against the ground to avoid uneven wear on the skid shoes.

3.Tighten nuts and bolts securely.

Routing The Drive Cable

1.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. See Figure 5.

2.Three cable ties have been used to loosely tie the two control cables to the lower handle. Two of these cable ties are on each arm, and third on the top cross bar of the lower handle. Tighten these cable ties to secure the cable to the lower handle. See Figure 5.

Auger Cable

Periodic adjustment to the auger control cable may be required due to normal stretch and wear on the belt. Adjustment is needed if the augers seem to hesitate while turning, but the engine maintains speed, or continue turning with the auger control disengaged.

1.Loosen the rear hex bolt on the cable adjustment bracket. See Figure 6.

2.Slide the cable adjustment bracket backwards taking out the slack in the auger cable.

3.Retighten the rear hex bolt

4.Start engine and verify auger control engages and disengages properly.

Setting Up

Your Snow

Thrower

WARNING

Do not over-tighten the cable. Over- tightening may prevent the auger from disengaging and compromise the safety of the snow thrower.

If auger continues to rotate with the control disengaged, shut off engine and readjust.

Never attempt to clean chute or make any adjustment while engine is running.

Over-inflating the tire with excessive pressure (well above 20 psi) may cause the tire/rim to burst with sufficient force to cause serious pressure.
