The direction of snow removal can be adjusted up to 180º.
 Turn the chute rotation lever to the left to rotate the chute
to the left.
 Turn the chute rotation lever to the right to rotate the

deflector handle. Squeeze the two parts of the chute deflec-
tor handle together to adjust.

debris could be thrown through the gap back at the
operator, resulting in serious personal injury.
 Move the chute deflector backward (down) to decrease
the distance the snow will be thrown.
