Tire Pressure (If Applicable) NOTE: Not applicable to those units equipped with airless tires. WARNING! 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. The tires are over-inflated for shipping purposes. Check tire pressure before operating unit. Refer to tire side wall for tire manufacturer's recommended psi and deflate (or inflate) tires as necessary. NOTE: Equal tire pressure is to be maintained at all times for performance purposes. Adjustments Chute Assembly NOTE: For models with 2-Way/4-Way or Electric Chute Directional Control and/or models with chute-pitch controls see Controls and Operation on page 20-21. On units with manual chute tilt, including E-Z Chute™, the distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by changing angle of chute assembly. To do so: 1. Loosen wing knob found on left side of chute assembly. See Figure 2-54. Figure 2-54 2. Pivot chute upward or downward before retightening wing knob. Skid Shoes The snow thrower skid shoes are adjusted at the factory set roughly 1/8" below the shave plate. Adjust them downward, if desired, prior to operating the snow thrower. CAUTION Use extreme caution when on gravel and adjust auger housing height to clear gravel or crushed rock surfaces to avoid picking up and throwing gravel or crushed rock. • For close snow removal on a smooth surface, raise skid shoes higher on auger housing. • Use a lower position when area to be cleared is uneven, such as a gravel driveway.
