DEFLECTOR

Chute

The distance of the discharged snow is mainly controlled Deflector Knob by the position of the deflector (Figure 6).

SCRAPER BAR & SKID SHOES

On smooth surfaces such as concrete or asphalt, the scraper bar should scrape the surface. On surfaces such as gravel, the scraper bar should be high enough so that it will not pick up gravel or debris.

The height of the scraper bar is controlled by raising or lowering the skid shoes (See Figure 7).

1. To raise the scraper bar	height, rest the scraper bar
on a strip of wood equal	in thickness to the desired
height.

2.	Make sure the scraper		bar is parallel to the ground
	surface.
3.	Loosen the skid shoe		nuts and let the skid shoes
	drop to the surface.
4.	Tighten the nuts, making sure the			skid shoes are
	adjusted equally and are parallel to the surface.
5.	To lower the	height of the scraper		bar, raise the skid
	shoes.
6.	If the scraper	bar becomes worn,		it can be replaced
	by removing the hardware attaching it to the
	snowthrower.

The scraper bar is adjustable. (See Figure 8). If desired scraper bar height adjustment cannot be achieved solely by raising or lowering the skid shoes:

1.Loosen the nuts securing the scraper bar to the auger housing, and raise or lower the scraper bar until desired height is achieved.

2.Tighten the nuts, making sure the scraper bar is parallel with the bottom edge of the auger housing.
