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 Shoes
Position the skid shoes based on surface conditions.
Adjust upward for hard-packed snow. Adjust
downward when operating on gravel or crushed
rock surfaces. See the Assembly & Setup section for
details on adjusting the skid shoes.
Chute Clean-Out Tool
The chute clean-out tool is fastened to the rear of
the auger housing with a mounting clip. It is used
to dislodge and scoop any snow and ice which has
formed in or near the chute assembly.
