Tire Pressure (Pneumatic Tires)
2. While observing the distance between the shave plate
and the ground, adjust the skids shoes up or down to
achieve the desired shave plate height. See Figure 3-10.
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: If the tire pressure is not equal in both tires, the unit
may pull to one side or the other and the shave plate will
not sit level on the ground.
IMPORTANT: 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.
