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 not travel in a straight path and the shave plate may wear unevenly.

2.The warranty on this snow thrower does not cover items that have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive full value from warranty, operator must maintain the snow thrower as instructed here.
