Chute Assembly
Rotate the discharge chute to the left or right using the chute
handle. The pitch of the discharge chute controls angle at which
the snow is thrown. Loosen the wing knob on the side of the
discharge chute before pivoting the discharge chute upward or
downward. Retighten the knob once the desired position has
been achieved.
Shave Plate
The shave plate maintains contact with the pavement as
the snow thrower is propelled, allowing snow close to the
pavement’s surface to be discharged.
Gasoline Cap
Remove the gas cap to add fuel. This machine runs on a mixture
of fuel and oil. Do NOT operate the snow thrower without first
reading the engine operator’s manual for instructions regarding
proper fuel and engine oil.
