•Insert the eye bolt into the hole found in the lower handle’s crossbar. See Figure 4.

•Fasten the eye bolt to the crossbar with the saddle washer (cupped side UP) and the other hex nut as illustrated in Figure 4. Do NOT tighten at this time.

•Insert the chute directional control through the eyebolt and into the coupler found in the top right area of the snow thrower’s shroud. See Figure 5.

•Rotate the chute directional control to align the hole in the coupler with the hole in the chute directional control, and insert the cotter pin through both holes. Bend the ends of cotter pin in opposite directions to secure it in place. See Figure 5.

•Thread the eye bolt’s lower hex nut upward or downward to adjust the height of the eye bolt so that the chute directional control does not bind in the coupler when operated.

•Turn the chute directional control until the chute opening is facing straight ahead.

•Remove the wing knob, flat washer and carriage bolt from the upper chute. See Figure 6.

•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. See Figure 6.

•Resecure with the hardware just removed.
