Skid Shoe

Locate the shave plate and the skid shoes in Figure 8 on page 8. The space between this shave plate and the ground can be adjusted. For close snow removal, place skid shoes in the low position. Use middle or high position when area to be cleared is uneven.

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.

If for some reason, 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.

1.Adjust skid shoes by loosening the four lock nuts and carriage bolts and moving skid shoes to desired position. See Figure 7.

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

3.Tighten nuts and bolts securely.

Tire Pressure (Pneumatic Tires)

The tires are over-inflated for shipping purposes. Check the tire pressure before operating the snow thrower. Refer to the tire side wall for tire manufacturer’s recommended psi and deflate (or inflate) the tires as necessary.

NOTE: If the tire pressure is not equal in both tires, the unit may pull to one side or the other and the shave plate will not sit level on the ground.

WARNING: Under any circumstance do not exceed manufacturer’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.

Four-Way Chute Control™

The chute control lever may need to be lubricated to reduce its break-in period. Vegetable oil, petroleum jelly or motor oil can be used as lubricant.

IMPORTANT: This unit is shipped with engine oil in the engine, but without gasoline. After assembly, see OPERATION section of this manual for fuel selection and fill-up.
