N. Check Tire Pressure

Check the air pressure in both tires using an automotive-type tire pressure gauge. Inflate tires evenly to 8-12 psi (55-82 kPa).

O. Install Drift Slicers (optional attachment)

The optional drift slicers (AR, Fig. 2-12) are designed for use in deep snow conditions. To install the drift slicers:

1.Position the drift slicers (AR, Fig. 2-12) to the outside of the auger housing.
