If adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows: | • Repeat on the other side of the snow thrower. |
•Loosen the jam nut and thread the cable in (for less

•Recheck adjustment; readjust as necessary and tighten the jam nut.
Skid Shoes
The space between the shave plate and the ground can be adjusted by repositioning the skid shoes. For close snow removal, as when using on a smooth concrete or asphalt driveway, place the skid shoes in the low position. Use the middle or high position when the area to be cleared is uneven. Refer to Figure 8. When operating on gravel, always put skid shoes in the high position.
Adjust skid shoes as follows:
•Loosen, but do not remove, the three hex nuts which fasten the skid shoe to the auger housing.
•Raise or lower the skid shoe to desired position.
•Retighten the hex nuts loosened earlier.

NOTE: Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid shoe is against the ground to avoid uneven wear on the skid shoes.
Tire Pressure (Pneumatic Tires)
The tires are overinflated for shipping purposes.
•Check tire pressure. Maintain pressure between 10 and 14 psi.
NOTE: If the tire pressure is not equal in all tires, the unit may pull to one side or the other.
WARNING: Maximum tire pressure under any circumstance is 30 psi. Equal tire pressure should be maintained at all times. Excessive pressure (over 30 psi) when seating beads may cause tire/rim assembly to burst with force sufficient to cause serious injury.
