DEFLECTOR

	Chute
The distance of the discharged snow is mainly controlled	Deflector Knob
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.

On later models, the scraper bar is adjustable. (See Figure 10a). 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.
