Maintenance Procedures
Tire Inflation
Before each use of your Snow Thrower, check
the tire pressure. The pressure in each tire
should be in the range of 20-24 psi for the best
performance. The pressure can be checked
using an ordinary tire pressure gauge. Fill the
tires using an small or pressure regulated air
compressor.
WARNING! DO NOT OVER-INFLATE THE
TIRES. Over-inflating could cause a tire to
burst and cause severe bodily injury.
Shave Plate Replacement
Remove both skid shoes and hardware including
carriage bolts and nuts which attach shave plate
to snow thrower housing. Reassemble new
shave plate, making sure heads of the carriage
bolts are to the inside of the housing.
