OPERATION
BEFORE OPERATING SNOW THROWER
■Check the fasteners. Make sure all fasteners are tight.
■On electric start models, the unit was shipped with the starter cord plugged into the engine. Before operating, unplug the starter cord from the engine.
NOTE: This snow thrower was shipped WITH OIL in the engine. See “Before Starting Engine” instructions in the OPERATION section of this manual before starting engine.
CHECK THE TIRES
Check tires for damage. Check the air pressure in the tires with an accurate gauge (see Figure 4).
CAUTION: Avoid Injury! Explosive separation of tire and rim parts is possible when they are serviced incorrectly.
•Do not attempt to mount a tire without the proper equipment and experience to perform the job.
•Do not inflate the tires above the recommended pressure.
•Do not weld or heat a wheel and tire assembly. Heat can cause an increase in air pressure resulting in an explosion. Welding can structurally weaken or deform the wheel.
•Do not stand in front or over the tire assembly when inflating. Use appropriate tool that allows you to stand to one side.
NOTICE: Check side of tire for maximum tire pressure. DO NOT exceed maximum.
