Attaching the Chute Assembly and Directional Control

1.Apply a lubricant (i.e. 3-in-1 oil) to the rim of the chute base (and the underside of the chute assembly) and position the chute assembly over the base.

2.Close the flange keepers to secure the chute assembly to the chute base. The flange keepers will click into place when properly secure.

NOTE: If the flange keepers will not easily click into place, use the palm of your hand to apply swift, firm pressure to the back of each.

3.Remove the flat washer and hairpin clip from the end of the chute directional control. Insert the end of the chute directional control into the lower bracket and secure with the flat washer and hairpin clip just removed.

NOTE: If necessary, the lower bracket can be adjusted. Refer to Chute Bracket Adjustment. on Page 14.

4.If equipped, slip the cables, running from the handle panel to the chute assembly, into the cable guide located on top of the engine.

CAUTION: Prior to operating your snow thrower, refer to Auger Control Test on page 11. Read and follow all instructions carefully and perform all adjustments to verify your snow thrower is operating safely and properly.

Tire Pressure

Before operating, check tire pressure and reduce pressure in both tires to between 15 psi and 20 psi.

NOTE: If the tire pressure is not equal in both tires, the unit may not travel in a straight path and the shave plate may wear unevenly.
