TO CONTROL SNOW DISCHARGE (See Fig. 12)

WARNING: Snow throwers have ex- posed rotating parts, which can cause severe injury from contact, or from ma- terial thrown from the discharge chute. Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, small children and pets at all times including startup.

WARNING: If the discharge chute or auger become clogged, shut-off engine and wait for all moving parts to stop. Use the clean-out tool, NOT YOUR HANDS, to unclog the chute and/or auger.

The DIRECTION in which snow is to be thrown is controlled by the discharge chute control lever.

•To change the discharge chute position, press downward on discharge chute control lever and move lever left or right until chute is in desired position. Be sure lever springs back and locks into desired position.

The DISTANCE that snow is thrown is controlled by the posi- tion of the chute deflector. Set the deflector low to throw snow ashortdistance;setthedeflectorhighertothrowsnowfarther.

•Press downward on chute deflector control lever and move lever forward to raise the deflector and increase the distance. Move lever back to lower the deflector and decrease the distance. Be sure lever springs back and locks into desired position.
