Chute Discharge Angle Adjustment

WARNING! Always disengage the drive and
auger control handles before making
adjustments. Make sure the augers are
stopped and the machine is not moving.
The angle of the chute deflector controls the
discharge distance of the snow. Raising the
angle will increase the distance. Lowering the
angle will decrease the distance.
The angle can be adjusted by moving the chute
deflector control lever. Move the lever to the left
to raise the throwing height and move the lever to
the right to lower the throwing height.

Please refer to ENGINE manual (separate
document) for engine operation instructions.

Clearing Snow

Start the engine (see ENGINE manual) once your
Snow Thrower has been running outside for
several minutes, it is now ready for use. Make
sure the path in front of your Snow Thrower is
free from people, animals, objects, and all other
obstructions except for snow.
Adjust the chute outlet to the desired direction.
Turn the chute rotation handle clockwise or
counter-clockwise until the desired position is
reached.
WARNING! Never direct the chute outlet
toward people or animals. While snow may
seem harmless, it can contain rocks or other
debris that can cause serious injury when
projected through the chute.
1. Engage/depress the auger control handle to
start the augers and impeller turning.
2. Set the desired direction and speed using the
speed control lever.
3. Engage/depress the drive control handle and
direct the snow thrower into the snow to be
cleared.
NOTICE: Do not change speed positions while
the drive is engaged. Disengage the drive control
handle BEFORE changing speeds or directions.
If the snow is deeper than the height of the auger,
remove it in several steps taking narrower
swaths. Make several passes with the auger
overlapping the cleared areas and reduce
forward speed.
For the best clearing efficiency, clear snow
before it melts, refreezes and hardens. Hard
packed and wet snow can be very difficult to
clear.
Clearing wet heavy snow can be a challenge,
depending on ambient temperature, humidity
levels, and overall climate conditions including
actual snow conditions, there may be no 100%
solution as snow may be too wet or compacted to
move or throw. Wet snow will tend to clog and
stick more to the augers and chute. Keep the
auger engaged as much as possible when
clearing wet snow to help prevent clogging.
WARNING! If snow is filled with foreign
material, damage to the snow thrower may
result. Avoid snow with foreign materials.
