Setting Up

Your Snow

Thrower

WARNING

Never use your hands to clean snow and ice from the chute assembly or auger housing.

IMPORTANT

Under any circum- stance do not exceed manufacturer’s recom- mended 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.

Drift Cutters (If Equipped)

Drift cutters should be used when operating the snow thrower in heavy drift conditions.

• On models so equipped, drift cutters and hardware are assembled to the auger housing inverted. See Figure 3-7.

• Remove the carriage bolts and wingnuts securing the drift cutters to the housing.

• Reposition drift cutters so they face forward as shown in Figure 3-8. Secure with hardware previously removed, wingnuts should be fastened on the outside of the housing as shown.

If your unit is not equipped with drift cutters, you may contact Customer Support as instructed on page 2 for information regarding price and availability.
