SET-UP
Chute Clean-Out Tool
A chute clean-out tool is fastened to the top of the auger housing
with a mounting clip. See Figure 8. The tool is designed to clear a
chute assembly of ice and snow. This item is fastened with a cable tie
at the factory. Cut the cable tie before operating the snow thrower.
WARNING
Never use your hands to clear a clogged chute assembly. Shut
off engine and remain behind handles until all moving parts have
stopped before using the clean-out tool to clear the chute assembly.
Tire Pressure
WARNING
Under any circumstance 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.
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: Equal tire pressure is to be maintained at all times for perfor-
mance purposes.
ADJUSTMENTS
Skid Shoes
The snow thrower skid shoes are adjusted upward at the factory for
shipping purposes. Adjust them downward, if desired, prior to operat-
ing the snow thrower.
CAUTION
It is not recommended that you operate this snow thrower on gravel
as it can easily pick up and throw loose gravel, causing personal
injury or damage to the snow thrower and surrounding property.
•
For close snow removal on a smooth surface, raise skid shoes
higher on the auger housing. Refer to Figure 9.
•
Use a middle or lower position when the area to be cleared is
uneven, such as a gravel driveway.
NOTE: If you choose to operate the snow thrower on a gravel surface,
keep the skid shoes in position for maximum clearance between the
ground and the shave plate.
To adjust the skid shoes:
1.
Loosen the four hex nuts (two on each side) and carriage bolts.
Move skid shoes to desired position. See Figure 9.
