IMPORTANT:

Perform the following test before operating the snow thrower for the first time and at the start of each winter season.

Check the adjustment of the auger control as follows:

• When the auger control is released and in the disengaged “up” position, the cable should have very little slack, but should NOT be tight.

WARNING:

Do not over-tighten the cable.

Over-tightening may prevent the auger from disengaging and compromise the safety of the snow thrower.

• In a well-ventilated area, start the snow thrower engine as instructed earlier in this section under the heading

Starting Engine

. Make sure the throttle is set in the FAST position.

• While standing in the operator’s position (behind the snow thrower) engage the auger.

• Allow the auger to remain engaged for approximately ten (10) seconds before releasing the auger control. Repeat this several times.

• With the engine running in the FAST position and the auger control lever in the disengaged “up” position, walk to the front of the machine.

• Confirm that the auger has completely stopped rotating and shows NO signs of motion.

IMPORTANT:

If the auger shows ANY signs of rotating, immediately return to the operator’s position and shut off the engine. Wait for all moving parts to stop before readjusting the auger control cable.

• To readjust the control cable, unhook the spring

Maximum tire pressure under any circumstance is 30 psi. Equal tire pressure should be maintained at all times. Excessive pressure (over 30 psi) when seating beads may cause tire/rim assembly to burst with force sufficient to cause serious injury

Skid Shoe Adjustment

The space between the shave plate and the ground can be adjusted by raising or lowering the skid shoes.

For close snow removal, as when using on a smooth concrete or asphalt driveway, place the skid shoes in the low position. Use the middle or high position when the area to be cleared is uneven. When operating on gravel, always put skid shoes in the high position.

See Figure 13.

Adjust skid shoes as follows:

• Loosen, but do not remove, the three hex nuts which fasten the skid shoe to the auger housing.

• Raise or lower the skid shoe to desired position.

• Retighten the hex nuts loosened earlier.

• Repeat on the other side of the snow thrower.

NOTE: Make certain the bottom surface of skid shoe is

flat against the ground to avoid uneven wear.

Chute Assembly

• The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by adjusting the angle of the chute assembly. Refer to

Chute Tilt Control

on page 8.
