Adjusting Discharge Chute; Removing The Snowthrower - Toro 79362 Operator's Manual

Adjusting Discharge Chute

Danger
Contact with rotating auger and thrown debris
can cause severe injury or death.
Stay away from the discharge and auger
openings while operating the snowthrower.
Keep your hands, feet, and any other part of
your body or clothing away from concealed,
moving or rotating parts.
Use a stick, not your hand, to remove
obstructions from discharge chute or auger
housing.
Before adjusting, cleaning, repairing and
inspecting the snowthrower and before
unclogging the discharge chute, shut off the
engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
Move the power take off (PTO) to off and
rotate the ignition key to off. Remove the key.
The discharge chute can be rotated 180 degrees side to
side. The direction is controlled by turning the crank
handle (Fig. 16).
The chute deflector, on top of the discharge chute, can be
moved up and down to control the height and distance
snow is thrown (Fig. 16).
