OPERATION
The operation of any snow thrower can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear
safety glasses or eye shields while operating your snow thrower or performing any adjust- ments or repairs. We recommend standard safety glasses
or a wide vision safety mask worn over spectacles.

TO CONTROL SNOW DISCHARGE (See Fig. 14)
WARNING: Snow throwers have ex- posed rotating parts, which can cause severe injury from contact, or from ma- terial thrown from the discharge chute. Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, small children and pets at all times including startup.
WARNING: If the discharge chute or au- ger become clogged,
The DIRECTION in which snow is to be thrown is controlled by the discharge chute control lever.
•To change the discharge chute position, press downward on discharge chute control lever and move lever left or right until chute is in desired position. Be sure lever springs back and locks into desired position.
The DISTANCE that snow is thrown is controlled by the position of the chute deflector. Set the deflector low to throw snow a short distance; set the deflector higher to throw snow farther.
•Press downward on chute deflector control lever and move lever forward to lower the deflector and decrease the distance. Move lever back to raise the deflector and increase the distance. Be sure lever springs back and locks into desired position.
