INSTALLING THE CHUTE CRANK

(Models 150 thru 152 and model 140 with Optional Extended Chute Crank only.)

On some units, the chute crank can be installed and secured from the top side of the snow thrower. Other units are equipped with an adaptor that requires the assembler to tip the unit forward on the auger housing in order to secure the crank from the underside.

To determine which installation procedure to follow, look at the chute crank coupler located on the top right side of the instrument panel above the model plate. See Figure 6. If the adaptor has a hole through it visible from the top, follow the ”Secure from the Top” instructions. If the hole is not visible, follow the “Secure from the Underside” instructions.
