ATTACHING THE CHUTE ASSEMBLY
(Hardware C)
1. Place chute assembly over chute opening, with
the opening in the chute assembly facing the
front of the unit.
2. Place chute flange keepers beneath lip of chute
assembly with the flat side down.
3. Insert hex bolt up through chute flange keeper
and chute assembly as shown in Figure 8.
Secure with hex lock nut.
4. After assembling all three chute flange keepers,
tighten all nuts and bolts. Do not overtighten
hardware as it will restrict movement of the
discharge chute.

Figure 11
1. Loosen the two hex nuts which secure the lower
chute crank bracket (see Figure 9) to the snow
thrower housing.
2. Place one flat washer over the end of the chute
crank, then insert the end of the crank into the
hole in the plastic bushing in the lower chute
crank bracket. See Figure 10. Place second flat
washer on chute crank, and secure with hairpin
clip.
3. Thread one hex nut onto the eyebolt on the
chute crank assembly until there is at least two
inches of threads showing between the nut and
the head of the eyebolt. See Figure 11.
4. Place the eyebolt into the hole located half way
up the left handle. Secure with cupped washer
(cupped side against the handle, see inset,
Figure 11) and hex nut.
5. Adjust the chute crank support bracket (see
Figure 9) so that the spiral on the chute crank
fully engages the teeth on the chute assembly.
Tighten the nuts on the chute crank bracket
securely. Tighten the hex nuts on the eyebolt.
