Chute Clean-out Tool

1.The chute clean-out tool is fastened with a cable tie to the rear of the auger housing for shipping purposes. Cut the cable tie and remove the extension cord (if equipped) before operating the snow thrower.

Final Adjustments

After setting up your snow thrower, check the adjustments as instructed below and make any final adjustments necessary before operating the unit.

CAUTION: Failure to comply with these adjustment instructions may cause damage to the unit.

CAUTION: Prior to operating your snow thrower, refer to Auger Control Test on page 12. Read and follow all instructions carefully and perform all adjustments to verify your snow thrower is operating safely and properly.

Tire Pressure

•Before operating, check tire pressure and reduce pressure in both tires to between 15 psi and 20 psi.

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.

Skid Shoe

Locate the shave plate and the skid shoes in Figure

10.The space between this shave plate and the ground can be adjusted, refer to the Adjustment section of this manual.

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.
