Operating Tips
Warning
If snowthrower hits a foreign object while in operation, the object could be thrown in operator's or bystander's direction. Thrown objects could cause serious personal injury.
Keep the area to be cleared free of all foreign objects which may be picked up and thrown by the rotor blades.
•Always keep children and pets away from the area of operation.
•Keep the area to be cleared free of stones, toys, or other foreign objects which the rotor blades can throw. Such items could be covered by snowfall and go unnoticed. If the snowthrower strikes an obstruction or a foreign object during operation, stop the snowthrower, unplug the extension cord, remove the obstruction, and check the snowthrower for damage.
•To adjust the discharge chute, rotate the chute crank clockwise to move the discharge chute to the left; counterclockwise to move the chute to the right.
Note: The chute crank makes a noise as you turn the crank. This is normal.
The deflector handle on top of the discharge chute controls the height of the snow stream (Fig. 10). Adjust the height of the snow stream by raising or lowering the chute deflector.
