The tires are overinflated for shipping purposes. 

•

Check tire pressure. Maintain pressure between 10 
and 14 psi.

NOTE: If the tire pressure is not equal in all tires, the
unit may pull to one side or the other.

•

Compare the Figure below with your equipment and be familiar with its controls before starting it.

The drive control is located on the right handle.  
Squeeze the drive control to engage the wheel drive. 
Release to stop. 

This same lever also locks the auger control so you can 
operate the chute crank without interrupting the snow 
throwing process. If the auger control is engaged 

simultaneously with the drive control, the operator can 
release the auger control (on the left handle) and the 
augers will remain engaged. Release the drive control 
to stop the augers and wheel drive (the auger control 
must also be released).

  Always release the drive control before 

changing speeds.

Maximum tire pressure under 

any circumstance is 30 psi. Equal tire pressure 
should be maintained at all times. Excessive 
pressure (over 30 psi) when seating beads 
may cause tire/rim assembly to burst with force 
sufficient to cause serious injury.

Be familiar with all the controls on the snow thrower and their proper operation. Know how to 

stop the machine and disengage them quickly.
