GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The warranty on this snow thrower does not cover items
that have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence.
To receive full value from the warranty, operator must
maintain snow thrower as instructed in this manual. Some
adjustments will need to be made periodically to properly
maintain your snow thrower.
At least once a season, check to see if you should make
any of the adjustments described in the Service and Ad-
justments section of this manual.
• At least once a year, you should replace the spark plug
and check belts for wear. A new spark plug will help
your engine run better and last longer.
• Follow the maintenance schedule in this manual.
NOTE: Use only Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)
parts to service this unit. Failure to do so can cause the unit
to malfunction and pose a risk of injury to the operator.

TIRES
• Maintain proper air pressure in both tires (14-17 RS.I.
/ 19-24.5 N-m).
Keep tires free of gasoline and oil, which can harm

NOTE: To seal tire punctures and prevent flat tires due
to slow leaks, tire sealant may be purchased from your
local parts dealer. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry rot
and corrosion.
