from area of operation.

and thrown by the rotor blades. Such items could
be covered by snowfall and, therefore, unnoticed
until struck by the rotor blades. If an obstruction
or foreign object is hit while operating
snowthrower, stop unit by releasing the control
bar, unplug extension cord, remove obstruction,
and check unit for damage.
3. ADJUSTING DISCHARGE CHUTE—Rotate
the chute crank clockwise to move discharge
chute to the left and counterclockwise to move
chute to the right.
Note: The chute crank makes a noise as you
turn the crank. This is normal.
The deflector handle on top of the discharge
chute controls the height of the snow stream
(Fig. 9). Adjust the height of the snow stream by
raising or lowering the chute deflector.
