Skid Shoe
Locate the shave plate and the skid shoes in Figure 13
on page 9. The space between this shave plate and
the ground can be adjusted. For close snow removal,
place skid shoes in the low position. Use middle or
high position when area to be cleared is uneven.
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.
1. Adjust skid shoes by loosening the four lock nuts
and carriage bolts and moving skid shoes to
desired position. See Figure 12.
2. Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid
shoes are against the ground to avoid uneven wear
on the skid shoes.
3. Tighten nuts and bolts securely.

Tire Pressure (Pneumatic Tires)
The tires are over-inflated for shipping purposes.
Check the tire pressure before operating the snow
thrower. Refer to the tire side wall for tire
manufacturer's recommended psi and deflate (or
inflate) the tires as necessary.
NOTE: If the tire pressure is not equal in both tires, the
unit may pull to one side or the other and the shave
plate will not sit level on the ground.
IMPORTANT: Under any circumstance do not
exceed manufacturer's recommended 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.
Four-Way Chute ControF M
The chute control lever may need to be lubricated to

or motor oil can be used as lubricant.

engine, but without gasoline. After assembly, see
OPERATION section of this manual for fuel selection
and fill-up.
