1. Observe the lower rear area of the snow thrower to
be sure both cables are aligned with roller guides
before pivoting the handle upward.
2. Secure the handle by tightening the plastic wing
knob located on both the left and right sides of the
handle. Remove and discard any rubber bands, if
present. They are for packaging purposes only.
3. Position the chute assembly over the base.
4. Close the flange keepers to secure the chute
assembly to the chute base. The flange keepers will
click into place when properly secure.

place, use the palm of your hand to apply swift, firm
pressure to the back of each.
