PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES CORRECTIVE ACTION
Snowblower digs into ground. Ground is not frozen or too soft. Adjust skid shoes lower so they
may better support the snowblower.
If problem persists, change skid
shoes for heavy duty skid shoes
(option #700243) which cover more
surface and prevents snowblower
from digging.
Snowblower does not raise evenly. Tire pressure uneven from one side
to another.
Maladjustment of the snowblower.
Verify and adjust tire pressure:
Front tires: 14 to 15 psi
Rear tires: 7 to 8 psi
