Chute Clean-Out Tool
A chute clean-out tool is fastened to the top of the auger housing with a mounting
clip. See Figure 12. 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.
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
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.
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 performance 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 operating the snow thrower.
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 13.
•
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 13.
2.
Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid shoe is against the ground to
avoid uneven wear on the skid shoes.
3.
Retighten nuts and bolts securely.
