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.
