OPERATION
TO CONTROL SNOW DISCHARGE (See Fig. 16)
WARNING: Snow throwers have ex-
posed rotating parts, which can cause
severe injury from contact, or from ma-
terial thrown from the discharge chute.
Keep the area of operation clear of all
persons, small children and pets at all
times including startup.
WARNING: If the discharge chute or au-
ger become clogged, shut-off en gine
and wait for all moving parts to stop. Use
the clean-out tool, NOT YOUR HANDS,
to un clog the chute and/or auger.
The DIRECTION in which snow is to be thrown is controlled
by the discharge chute control lever.
•
To change the discharge chute position, press down ward
on discharge chute control lever and move lever left
or right until chute is in desired position. Be sure lever
springs back and locks into desired position.
The DISTANCE that snow is thrown is controlled by the
position of the chute deflector. Set the deflector low to
throw snow a short distance; set the deflector higher to
throw snow farther.

ger/impeller and all moving parts have stopped.

out tool to it's mounting clip by pushing it into the clip.
•
Make sure the discharge chute is pointed in a safe direc-
tion (no vehicles, buildings, people, or other objects are
in the direction of discharge) before restarting engine.
• Restart the engine, then squeeze the auger control
lever to the handle to clear snow from the auger hous-
