First, you should make sure you have the proper tools for assembly, including a torque wrench, Phillips screwdriver, air gauge, pliers, side-cutting pliers, 10mm and 13mm wrench and a cloth for checking oil levels.
In summary, begin installation by removing all packaging materials and installing the handles, including the connection of the traction drive and auger control cables. Next, install the chute by inserting the chute rotation rod and aligning the chute over the proper opening, and then connecting the deflector cable. Finish connection of the speed control rod, and then install the steering cables and wire harness. Adjust the skid shoes to your desired ground clearance, using less clearance for a hard surface and more for a gravel surface. Check and adjust the tire pressure to the proper levels and make sure to check the oil level, adding oil if needed. Finally, regularly perform system safety tests to make sure your snow blower is working properly.
