Positioning the Upper Handle

1.Remove packing material, if present.

2.Raise the upper handle in the direction shown in Figure 1 until it clicks into the operating position. Make sure not to pinch or crimp the cable.

3.Tighten the knobs.

Assembling the Discharge Chute

For shipping reasons, the snow thrower has been packaged with the upper chute pivoted all the way down. To pivot it upward, proceed as follows:

1.Turn the chute until the chute opening is facing straight ahead.

2.Remove the knob and carriage bolt from the lower chute. See Figure 2.

3.Pivot the upper chute upward over the lip on the lower chute so that there is NO gap between the upper chute and the lower chute.

4.Re-secure with the hardware just removed. If installed correctly, your snow thrower should look like Figure 3.

IMPORTANT: Do not use the chute handle to lift the snow thrower
