Install discharge chute on the rotating ring located on the auger
housing. Secure with three 5/16 inch carriage bolts, flat wash¬
ers and nylok nuts. Install the rear bolt first for easier align¬
ment. You will find the hardware in the parts bag. See figure 1.
Make sure that for all three bolts, the bolt head goes inside the
rotating ring, and the washer and the nut are on the outside.
Tighten bolts securely with the wrench.
Lift up the folding handle and align it with the lower handle until
it clicks into place. Tighten the wing nuts securely.
FUEL & OIL
MIXTURE
Note: Your snow thrower unit uses a two cycle engine that requires
a mixture of gasoline and oil for lubrication of bearings and other
moving parts.
Mix the gasoline and oil in a clean gasoline container.
Always use fresh, unleaded, winter grade gasoline;
never use 'stale' gasoline left over from last season or
stored for 30 days or longer.
Use the correct fuel/oil mix to prevent engine dam¬
age. Follow the chart below.
