and Chute Deflector

To adjust the discharge chute, press the trigger of the Quick Shoot™ control on the right hand side of the handle and move it up or down along the handle. Moving the control down the handle rotates the discharge chute to the left; moving the control up the handle rotates the discharge chute to the right (Figure 18).

Preventing Freeze-up after Use

Let the engine run for a few minutes to prevent moving parts from freezing. Stop the engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and remove ice and snow from the snowthrower.

Clean off any snow and ice from the base of the chute.

Rotate the discharge chute left and right to free it from any ice buildup.

With the ignition key in the Off position, pull the recoil starter handle several times or push the electric start button once (model 38584 only) to prevent the recoil and electric starters from freezing up.

In snowy and cold conditions, some controls and moving parts may freeze. Do not use excessive force when trying to operate frozen controls. If you have difficulty operating any control or part, start the engine and let it run for a few minutes.
