The snow thrower drift cutters are mounted inverted at the 
factory for shipping purposes.
1. 

Remove the four flange nuts (two on each side) and carriage 
bolts. Place drift cutter in upright position and re-secure.  See 
Figure 3-8.

The tires can be over-inflated for shipping purposes. Check the 
tire pressure before operating the snow thrower.  Refer to the 
tire side wall for manufactures’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.

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 snow thrower skid shoes are adjusted upward at the factory 
for shipping purposes. Adjust them downward 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, adjust the skid 
shoes so that the shave plate on the bottom of the  auger 
housing is just off the ground.
Adjust the skid shoes to a lower position to raise the shave plate 
off the ground when clearing uneven areas, or 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.

1. 

Adjust skid shoes by loosening the six (three on each side) 
hex nuts, washers, and carriage bolts  securing the skid 
shoes to the auger housing.  Refer to Figure 3-9.

2. 

While observing the distance between the shave plate and 
the ground, adjust the skids shoes up or down to achieve 
the desired shave plate height. 

3. 

Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid shoes are 
against the ground to avoid uneven wear on the skid shoes; 
then tighten nuts and bolts securely. 

Prior to operating your snow thrower, 

carefully read and follow all instructions below. 
Perform all adjustments to verify your snow thrower is 
operating safely and properly.

1. 

When the auger control is released and in the disengaged 
“up” position, the cable should have very little slack. It 
should NOT be tight. Refer to Figure 3-10.

2. 

In a well-ventilated area, start the snow thrower engine 
as instructed in engine operator’s manual. Make sure the 
throttle is set in the FAST position.

3. 

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

4. 

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

5. 

With the throttle control in the FAST (rabbit) position and 
the auger control in the disengaged “up” position, walk to 
the front of the machine. 

6. 

Confirm that the auger has completely stopped rotating 
and shows NO signs of motion. 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 re-adjusting the auger control.
