Adjusting the Direction of Discharge
Snow can be discharged to the left, straight ahead, or to the right of the operator.
Follow these instructions in order to change the direction:
1. Release the safety switch in order to stop the rotor.
NOTE: The control crank can revolve 810°. The discharge chute can rotate 180°. Do not force it.
2. Turn the discharge directional control clockwise 360°. The vanes will turn approximately 80° to the right.
3. Turn the discharge directional control counter-clockwise 360°. The vanes will turn approximately 80° to the left.
WARNING: If there is a gap between the discharge chute and the chute deflector, snow and anything else
that can be picked up by Snow Thrower may fly in the direction of the operator. Thrown objects could
cause serious personal injury.
• Do not force the chute deflector too far forward so that a gap appears between the discharge chute and the chute
deflector.
• Do not overtighten the locknuts that hold the chute deflector in position to the point where it is necessary to use
excessive force in order to adjust the chute deflector.
• Begin removing snow near the electrical outlet, and work outward. Work back and forth, and not away from or
toward the outlet.
• When turning at the end of a swath, step over the cord, and then turn the Snow Thrower.
• Overlap each swath, and discharge the snow in the direction of the wind whenever possible.
• Shave down large banks of snow by placing the Snow Thrower on the bank.
