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.

carriage bolts on each skid shoe, and moving the

 

 

skid shoe to the desired position. See Figure 5.

is against the ground to avoid uneven wear on the

 

 

skid shoes.

 

 

3. Tighten nuts and bolts securely.

Periodic adjustment to the auger control cable may be

 

 

required due to normal stretch and wear on the belt.
