Figure 12- Adjusting Drive Speed and Direction
The angle of the chute deflector controls the throwing distance of the snow leaving the
chute. Raising the angle will increase the throwing distance. Lowering the angle will
decrease the throwing distance (see figure 13).
To adjust the chute deflector:
1. Make sure the engine is stopped and the auger and impeller have come to a full
stop.
2. Loosen the knobs on the chute deflector as shown in figure 13 and adjust the
chute deflector to the desired angle.
3. Re-tighten the knobs on the chute deflector. Do not over-tighten.
