WARNING!
Be familiar with all controls and their
proper operation. Know how to stop the machine
and disengage them quickly.
Lift Handle (See Fig. 4-1)
The lift handle is located on the right side of the tractor and is
used to raise and lower the snow thrower attachment.
1. To raise the snow thrower attachment off of the ground,
pull rearward and down on the lift handle until you feel
the lift latch on the right side of the snow thrower engage,
locking the snow thrower in a raised position.
2. To lower the snow thrower, push downward on the lift
handle until there is enough slack in the lift cable so that
you may squeeze the trigger control. With the trigger
control squeezed, gently allow the snow thrower to lower
until it reaches the ground.

Chute Directional Control
Figure 4-1
Chute Directional Control (See Fig. 4-1)
The chute directional control assembly is found on the left side
of the tractor and includes both the chute tilt lever as well as the
chute crank. Both affect the direction that the discharged snow
is thrown.
To pivot the upper section of discharge chute, affecting the
distance and angle which the snow is thrown, move the chute tilt
lever forward or rearward into a desired position.
The direction which snow is thrown can be changed by rotating
the discharge chute with the chute crank. Turn the chute crank
clockwise to rotate the chute and discharge snow to the left.
Crank it counterclockwise to rotate the chute and discharge
snow to the right.
