Routing The Drive Cable
1. Make sure that the drive cable is routed parallel to the left
upper handle, then across the top of the lower handle and
finally parallel to the right lower handle. See Fig. 3-3.
2. Three cable ties have been used to loosely tie the two
control cables to the lower handle. Two of these cable ties
are on each arm, and the third on the top cross bar of the
lower handle. Tighten these cable ties to secure the cable
to the lower handle. See Fig. 3-3.

Tire Pressure
The proper inflation pressure is 20 psi. Check the tire pressure
periodically and maintain equal pressure in both tires at all
times. Excessive pressure (well above 20 psi) may cause the
wheel (tire/rim) assembly to burst with sufficient force to cause
serious injury. Do not over-inflate the tire. Use a manual pump or
portable electric tire inflator to prevent over-inflation.
NEVER USE AN AIR COMPRESSOR.
Gas & Oil Fill-Up
WARNING!
Use extreme care when handling
gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the
vapors are explosive. Never fuel the machine
indoors or while the engine is hot or running.
Extinguish cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other
sources of ignition.
Service the engine with gasoline and oil as instructed in the
Tecumseh Engine Operator's Manual packed separately with
your snow thrower. Read instructions carefully.
NOTE: Your snow thrower is shipped with oil in the engine.
However, you MUST check the oil level before operating. Refer to
Tecumseh Engine Operator's Manual for detailed instructions.
