CHECK CABLE CONNECTION AND
ADJUSTMENT
The traction control cable (A, Figure 5) and auger control cable
(B) are adjusted at the factory and no adjustment should be
necessary.
If the cables become stretched, unattached or begin to sag,
adjustment will be necessary. See Maintenance section of this
manual.
ASSEMBLE THE CHUTE AND CRANK
See Figure 6 for instructions.
CHECK THE TIRES
Check tires for damage. Check the air pressure in the tires with an
accurate gauge. See the sidewall of the tire for the proper
inflation.
CAUTION: Avoid Injury! Explosive separation of tire and
rim parts is possible when they are serviced
incorrectly.
• Do not attempt to mount a tire without the proper
equipment and experience to perform the job.
• Do not inflate the tires above the recommended
pressure.
• Do not weld or heat a wheel and tire assembly. Heat can
cause an increase in air pressure resulting in an
explosion. Welding can structurally weaken or deform the
wheel.
• Do not stand in front or over the tire assembly when
inflating. Use appropriate tool that allows you to stand to
one side.
NOTICE: Check side of tire for maximum tire pressure. DO
NOT exceed maximum.
