Tire Pressure (Pneumatic Tires)
The tires are overinflated for shipping purposes.
• Check tire pressure. Maintain pressure between 10
and 14 psi.
NOTE: If the tire pressure is not equal in all tires, the
unit may pull to one side or the other.
SECTION 3: KNOWING YOUR SNOW THROWER
• Compare the Figure below with your equipment and be familiar with its controls before starting it.
Figure 11
Drive Control / Auger Control Lock
The drive control is located on the right handle.
Squeeze the drive control to engage the wheel drive.
Release to stop.
This same lever also locks the auger control so you can
operate the chute crank without interrupting the snow
throwing process. If the auger control is engaged
simultaneously with the drive control, the operator can
release the auger control (on the left handle) and the
augers will remain engaged. Release the drive control
to stop the augers and wheel drive (the auger control
must also be released).
IMPORTANT: Always release the drive control before
changing speeds.

WARNING: Maximum tire pressure under
any circumstance is 30 psi. Equal tire pressure
should be maintained at all times. Excessive
pressure (over 30 psi) when seating beads
may cause tire/rim assembly to burst with force
sufficient to cause serious injury.
WARNING: Be familiar with all the controls on the snow thrower and their proper operation. Know how to
stop the machine and disengage them quickly.
