NOTICE: Do not bend or kink the control cables. The cables should be routed under
the handle assembly and not wrapped around the handle or knobs. The cables must
move freely and not bind.
Step 2 – Chute assembly
1.
Install the discharge chute onto the chute flange on the auger housing. The chute
only rests on the flange.
2.
Slide the chute rod through the mounting hole on the left upper handle.(Figure 2)
3.
Attach the chute rotation bar to the mount bracket onto the chute housing using two
screws, washers and locknuts. Tighten fasteners securely.

Step 3 – Skid shoes installation and adjustments
1.
Locate the pair of skid shoes from parts bag and remove the bolts.
2.
Loosely install the skid shoes using the bolts and hex
nuts as shown on each side of the auger housing. Make
sure the skid shoe tip faces out.
Adjustment of the skid shoes sets the height above the ground
at which the auger shave plate operates.
For clearing snow from concrete, asphalt, and other smooth surfaces, set the auger shave
plate so that the bottom of the plate is just above the ground.
For clearing snow from gravel, dirt, and other rough surfaces set the auger shave plate
slightly above the ground to avoid dirt and gravel from entering the auger.
The optimal height of the plate will vary depending on the type of surface being cleared.
Surfaces with larger gravel or stones require a higher shave plate setting.
3.
Move the Snow Thrower to a solid, smooth, and level surface.
4.
Place a spacer board on the ground underneath the auger shave plate between the skid
shoes. The thickness of the board should be the same as the height above the ground
