Before operating, check tire pressure and reduce pressure in both 

tires to between 15 psi and 20 psi. Check the side wall of the tire 

for the recommended maximum tire pressure
NOTE: If the tire pressure is not equal in both tires, the machine 

may not travel in a straight path and the shave plate may wear 

unevenly.

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 

Briggs and Stratton 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 Briggs and Stratton Engine Operator’s Manual for detailed 

instructions.

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.

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.
