Chute assembly
The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by changing the angle of
the chute assembly. 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
Warning
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. 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.
