controls the height of the snow stream. Loosen the knobs
to raise or lower the deflector to the desired height of
snow you wish to throw. Tighten the knobs to secure the
deflector (Fig. 20).

General Maintenance Tips
1. Do not attempt to repair the machine unless you have the
proper tools and instructions for disassembly and repair of
the machine.
2. Check bolts and screws at frequent intervals for proper
tightness to ensure that the equipment is in safe working
condition.
3. After each snow removal session, run the snow thrower
for a few minutes to prevent the collector/impeller from
freezing. Shut off the motor, wait for all revolving parts to
stop completely and wipe residual ice and snow off the
unit. Rotate the chute crank several times to remove any
excess snow.
4. Only use a cloth soaked with hot water and a soft brush to
clean the snow thrower; never wet or spray water on the
machine!
5. Do not use detergent or solvents as these could cause
irreparanle damage to the snow thrower. Chemicals can
destroy the plastic parts.

WARNING

Make sure that the chute deflector snaps and locks
completely onto the discharge chute. An opening
between the discharge chute and the chute deflector
may allow foreign objects to be picked up by the
snow thrower and thrown in the direction of the
operator causing serious boldly injury.
• Do not advance the chute deflector too far
forward causing an opening to appear between
the deflector and discharge chute.
• Do not overtighten the knobs on the chute
deflector.
