Tire Pressure (Pneumatic Tires)
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 not travel in a straight path and the shave plate
may wear unevenly.
IMPORTANT
Under any circum-
stance do not exceed
manufacturer’s recom-
mended psi. Equal tire
pressure should be
maintained at all times.
Excessive pressure
when seating beads
may cause tire/rim
assembly to burst

The post on the cable tie attaching the lamp wiring har-
ness to the lower handle should be plugged into the hole
in the lower handle. Pull the slack portion of the wiring
harness through the cable tie to prevent interference with
the recoil starter handle. See Figure 3-7.
