Changing Throw Direction and
Throw Height
1. The discharge chute can be adjusted 180 degrees by
rotating the chute crank. Rotate the chute control crank
clockwise to move the discharge chute to the left and
counterclockwise to move the chute to the right (Fig. 28).
2.
The chute deflector on the top of the discharge chute
controls the height of the snow stream. Loosen the knobs
to raise or lower the deflector to the desired height of
snow you wish to throw. Tighten the knobs to secure the
deflector (Fig.
29).
Maintenance
Lifetime Lubrication (Motor and Auger)

snow thrower is lubricated for lifetime use at the factory before
shipment.

Make sure that the chute deflector snaps and locks
completely onto the discharge chute. An opening
between the discharge chute and the chute deflector
may allow foreign objects to be picked up by the
snow thrower and thrown in the direction of the
operator causing serious bodily injury.
• Do not advance the chute deflector too far
forward causing an opening to appear between
the
deflector and discharge chute.
•
Do not overtighten the knobs on the chute
deflector
