Your Snow

Thrower

NOTE: References to right or left side of the snow thrower are determined from behind the unit in the operating position (standing directly behind the snow thrower, facing the handle panel).

NOTE: Snow throwers vary by model with regard to features and components. Your snow thrower may NOT resemble, in detail, snow throwers illustrated in figures throughout this manual.

NOTE: Two replacement auger shear pins are included with this manual (or stowed in the plastic handle panel). Refer to Augers on page 16 for more information regarding shear pin replacement.

1.Observe the lower rear area of the snow thrower to be sure both cables are aligned with roller guides before pivoting the handle upward.

2.Secure the handle by tightening the plastic wing knob located on both the left and right sides of the handle. Remove and discard any rubber bands, if present. They are for packaging purposes only.

3.Position the chute assembly over the base.

4.Close the flange keepers to secure the chute assembly to the chute base. The flange keepers will click into place when properly secure.

NOTE: If the flange keepers will not easily click into place, use the palm of your hand to apply swift, firm pressure to the back of each.
