CHUTE DEFLECTOR

The angle of the chute deflector controls the throwing distance of the snow leaving the chute. Raising the angle will increase the throwing distance. Lowering the angle will decrease the throwing distance (see figure 13).

To adjust the chute deflector:

1.Make sure the engine is stopped and the auger and impeller have come to a full stop.

2.Loosen the knobs on the chute deflector as shown in figure 13 and adjust the chute deflector to the desired angle.

3.Re-tighten the knobs on the chute deflector. Do not over-tighten.
