Tire Pressure
The tires are overinflated for shipping purposes.
•Check tire pressure, by referring to tire sidewalls for recommended tire pressure.
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.

Traction Control / Auger Control Lock
The traction control is located on the right handle. Squeeze the traction control to engage the wheel drive. Release to stop. See Figure 8.
This same lever also locks the auger control to avoid interruption of the snow throwing process. If the auger control is engaged along with the traction control, the operator can release the auger control (on the left handle) and the augers will remain engaged. Release the traction control to stop both the augers and wheel drive (auger control must also be released).
IMPORTANT: Always release tractional control before changing speeds.
