Setting Up 
Your Snow

The extension cord is fastened with a cable tie to the rear 
of the auger housing for shipping purposes. Cut the cable 
tie and remove it before operating the snow thrower.

instructions carefully, and perform all adjustments 
to verify your snow thrower is operating safely and 
properly.
Shear Pin Storage (optional)
An area for convenient shear pin storage is located at the 
rear of the dash panel.
Drift Cutters 
(If Equipped)
Drift cutters should be used when operating the snow 
thrower in heavy drift conditions. 
•  On models so equipped, drift cutters and hardware
are assembled to the auger housing inverted. 
•  Remove the carriage bolts and wingnuts securing the
drift cutters to the housing.
•  Reposition drift cutters so they face forward as shown
in Figure 3-6. Secure with hardware previously 
removed, wingnuts should be fastened on the 
outside 
of the housing as shown.
If your unit is 
not equipped with drift cutters, you may 
contact Customer Support as instructed on page 2 for 
information regarding price and availability.
Clean-Out Tool
The clean-out tool is mounted to the rear of the auger 
housing and is designed to clear a clogged chute. Refer 
to page 9 for instructions on how to properly use it.
NOTE: This item is fastened with a cable tie to the rear of 
the auger housing at the factory. Cut the cable tie before 
operating the snow thrower.
WARNING: Never use your hands to 
clean snow and ice from the chute 
assembly or auger housing.
Lamp Wiring Harness (If equipped)
The post on the cable tie attaching the lamp wiring har-
ness to the lower handle should be plugged into the hole 
in the lower handle.  Pull the slack portion of the wiring 
harness through the cable tie to prevent interference with 
the recoil starter handle. See Figure 3-7.
Skid Shoes
Position the skid shoes based on surface conditions. 
Adjust upward for hard-packed snow. Adjust downward 
when operating on gravel or crushed rock surfaces. See 
“Making Adjustment” Section.

Tire 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: If the tire pressure is not equal in both tires, the 
unit may not travel in a straight path and the shave plate 
may wear unevenly.
