Chute Handle
The direction of snow throwing corresponds to the direction of the
chute opening. Use the chute handle to turn the chute assembly in the
direction you wish to throw the snow.
Chute knob
The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by either raising or
lowering the upper chute. Loosen the chute knob on the side of the
upper chute to adjust. Pivot the upper chute to desired position, and
retighten the chute knob.
Shave Plate
The shave plate maintains contact with pavement as the snow
thrower is propelled, allowing snow close to pavement's surface to be
discharged.
Skid Shoe
The space between the shave plate and the ground can be adjusted.
For close snow removal, place skid shoes in the low position. Use
middle or high position when area to be cleared is uneven or on gravel
surfaces.
