Chute
The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by changing the angle of the upper
chute. To do so:
1. Stop the engine by removing the ignition key and loosen the plastic wing
knob found on the left side of the chute assembly.
2. Pivot the chute upward or downward before retightening the wing knob.
See Figure 8.
Auger Control
Prior to operating your snow thrower, carefully read and follow all
instructions below. Perform all adjustments to verify your snow thrower is
operating safely and properly.
Check the adjustment of the auger control as follows:
1. The auger control is located on the left handle. See Figure 9 inset.When the
auger control is released and in the disengaged "up" position, the cable
should have very little slack. It should NOT be tight.
2. In a well-ventilated area, start the snow thrower engine. Refer to Starting
the Engine in the Operation section.
3. While standing in the operator's position (behind the snow thrower), engage
the auger.
4. Allow the auger to remain engaged for approximately ten (10) seconds
before releasing the auger control. Repeat this several times.
5. With the auger control in the disengaged "up" position, walk to the front of
the machine.
6. Confirm that the auger has completely stopped rotating and shows NO signs
of motion. If the auger shows ANY signs of rotating, immediately return to
the operator's position and shut off the engine. Wait for ALL moving parts to
stop before adjusting the auger control.
7. To readjust the control cable, loosen the upper hex bolt on the auger cable
bracket. See Figure 9.
8. Position the bracket upward to provide more slack (or downward to increase
cable tension).
9. Retighten the upper hex bolt.
10. Repeat steps 2-6 above to verify proper adjustment has been achieved.
