ASSEMBLY

ASSEMBLING THE HANDLE
See Figure 2.
• Align the holes on the middle handle and the
lower handle. Insert the bolts, and use the
handle knobs to tighten them.
• Align the hole on the middle handle and
the upper handle. Insert the cam locks and
tighten them with the wing nuts provided.
ASSEMBLING THE DISCHARGE CHUTE
See Figure 3
Push the chute deflector until the latching tabs
on both sides click into the restrict slots and
the position-joints on both sides click into the
keyed holes.
WARNING!
Make sure that the chute deflector locks
completely onto the discharge chute. An
opening between the discharge chute and the
chute deflector may allow foreign objects to be
picked up by the snow thrower and thrown in
the direction of the operator causing serious
bodily injury.

• Position the discharge chute so that it faces
forward.
NOTE: Align the arrow on the discharge chute
with the arrow on the housing.
• Align the holes on the directional chute arm
with the holes on the lower directional chute
arm. Insert the hitch pin. Insert the end of
the chute control rod through the keyed hole
in the bracket that is attached to the top of
the middle handle.
• Ensure that the handle of the chute control
rod points upward, and insert the rod into the
keyed hole in the back of the housing.
• Firmly push the rod into the keyed hole in the
back of the housing until it snaps into place.
• Move the handle on the chute control rod to
