Chute Clean-Out Tool
A chute clean-out tool is fastened to the top of the auger housing with a mounting
clip. See Figure 11. 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.
Drift Cutters
1. Remove the two screws and wing knobs that secure each drift cutter, and
remove them from the sides of the auger housing.
2. Turn the drift cutters around and position them as shown in Figure 12 to the
outside of the auger housing.
3. Attach the drift cutters with the screws and wing knobs removed earlier. See
Figure 13.
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.
