Assembling the Discharge Chute
For shipping reasons, the snow thrower has been
packaged with the upper chute pivoted all the way
down. To pivot it upward, proceed as follows:
• Turn the chute directional control until the chute
opening is facing straight ahead.
• Remove the wing knob, flat washer and carriage
bolt from the upper chute. See Figure 5.
