Confirm that the auger has completely stopped
rotating and shows no signs of motion.
IMPORTANT: If the auger shows any signs of rotating,
immediately return to the operator’s position and shut
off the engine. Wait for all moving parts to stop before
readjusting the auger control cable.
Tire Pressure (PneumaticTires)
The tires are over-inflated for shipping purposes.
Check the tire pressure before operating the snow

recommended psi and deflate (or inflate) the tires  as
necessary.
