Tire Pressure

 

The proper inflation pressure is 20 psi. Check the tire

 

pressure periodically and maintain equal pressure in both

Drive Cable

tires at all times. Excessive pressure (well above 20 psi)

may cause the wheel (tire/rim) assembly to burst with

 

 

sufficient force to cause serious injury. Do not over-inflate

 

the tire. Use a manual pump or portable electric tire

 

inflator to prevent over-inflation. NEVER USE AN AIR

 

COMPRESSOR.

Cable Ties

 

Skid Shoe

Auger Cable

The space between the shave plate and the ground

 

 

 

can be adjusted. See Figure 7. For close snow removal,

 

 

place skid shoes in the low position. When the area to

 

 

be cleared is uneven, place skid shoes in the middle or

 

 

high position. See Figure 5.

 

 

1. Adjust skid shoes by loosening two hex nuts and

Figure 4

 

carriage bolts on each skid shoe, and moving the

 

 

skid shoe to the desired position. See Figure 5.

 

 

2. Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid shoe

 

 

is against the ground to avoid uneven wear on the

 

 

skid shoes.

 

 

3. Tighten nuts and bolts securely.

 

 

Auger Cable

 

 

Periodic adjustment to the auger control cable may be

 

 

required due to normal stretch and wear on the belt.

 

 

Adjustment is needed if the augers seem to hesitate

 

 

while turning, but the engine maintains speed, or

 

 

continue turning with the auger control disengaged.

 

 

1. Loosen the rear hex bolt on the cable adjustment

 

 

bracket. See Figure 6.

 

 

2. Slide the cable adjustment bracket backwards taking

 

 

out the slack in the auger cable.

Figure 5

 

3. Retighten the rear hex bolt

 

 

4. Start engine and verify auger control engages and

 

 

disengages properly.

Final Adjustments

IMPORTANT: Check the adjustments as instructed and make any final adjustments necessary before operating the unit. Check all nuts and bolts for tightness.Failure to follow these instructions may cause damage to unit.

Setting Up

Your Snow

Thrower

WARNING

Do not over-tighten the cable. Over- tightening may prevent the auger from disengaging and compromise the safety of the snow thrower.

If auger continues to rotate with the control disengaged, shut off engine and readjust.

Never attempt to clean chute or make any adjustment while engine is running.

Over-inflating the tire with excessive pressure (well above 20 psi) may cause the tire/rim to burst with sufficient force to cause serious pressure.
