ASSEMBLY

Chute Assembly

The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by changing the angle of the chute assembly. To do so:

1.Stop the engine by removing the ignition key and loosen the plastic wing knob found on the left side of the chute assembly.

2.Pivot the chute upward or downward before retightening the wing knob. See Figure 8.

Auger Control

WARNING

Prior to operating your snow thrower, carefully read and follow all instructions below. Perform all adjustments to verify your snow thrower is operating safely and properly.

Check the adjustment of the auger control as follows:

1.When the auger control is released and in the disengaged “up” position, the cable should have very little slack. It should NOT be tight.

2.In a well-ventilated area, start the snow thrower engine. Refer

to Starting the Engine in the Operation section. Make sure the

throttle is set in the FAST position.

3.While standing in the operator’s position (behind the snow thrower), engage the auger.

4.Allow the auger to remain engaged for approximately ten (10) seconds before releasing the auger control. Repeat this several times.

5.With the throttle control in the FAST (rabbit) position and the auger control in the disengaged “up” position, walk to the front of the machine.

6.Confirm that the auger has completely stopped rotating and shows NO signs of motion. If the auger shows ANY signs of rotating, immediately return to the operator’s position and shut off the engine. Wait for ALL moving parts to stop before re-adjusting the auger control.

7.To readjust the control cable, loosen the upper hex nut on the auger cable bracket. See Figure 9.

8.Position the bracket upward to provide more slack (or downward to increase cable tension).

9.Retighten the upper hex nut.

10.Repeat steps 2-6 above to verify proper adjustment has been achieved.
