DEFLECTOR

The distance of the discharged snow is mainly controlled by the position of the deflector (Figure 9). (Engine speed also affects distance of discharge. Always operate at FULL throttle.)

The more the deflector is tilted UP, the farther snow will be thrown. Loosen the deflector knob, tilt the deflector UP or DOWN, and then retighten the knob when the desired angle has been chosen.

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 10).

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.
