Chute Directional Control

The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by adjusting the angle of the chute assembly. Move the remote chute lever on the control panel forward to pivot the upper chute down; move the lever rearward to pivot the upper chute upward.

The chute directional control is located on the left side of the snow thrower. To change the direction in which snow is thrown, crank clockwise to discharge to the left and counterclockwise to discharge to the right.

Auger Control

Refer to the Assembly and Set-up section for instructions on adjusting the auger control cable.

Skid Shoes

Refer to the Assembly and Set-up section for instructions on adjusting the skid shoes.

Tire Pressure

Refer to the tire sidewall for the manufacturer’s recommended tire air pressure. Keep the tires filled to the recommended psi.
