Assembling the Discharge Chute
For shipping reasons, the snow thrower has been packaged with the upper chute pivoted all the way down. To pivot it upward, proceed as follows:
1.Turn the chute until the chute opening is facing straight ahead. Remove the wing knob, flat washer and carriage bolt from the lower chute. See Figure 2.
2.Pivot the upper chute upward over the lip on the lower chute so that there is NO gap between the upper chute and the lower chute.
3.Resecure with the hardware just removed. If installed correctly, your snow thrower should look like Figure 3.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the chute handle to lift the snow thrower.
