DEFLECTOR
| Chute |
The distance of the discharged snow is mainly controlled | Deflector Knob |
by the position of the deflector (Figure 9). (Engine speed |
|
also affects distance of discharge. Always operate at |
|
FULL throttle.) |
|
The more the deflector is tilted UP, the farther snow will |
|
be thrown. Loosen the deflector knob, tilt the deflector |
|
UP or DOWN, and then retighten the knob when the |
|
desired angle has been chosen. |

SCRAPER BAR & SKID SHOES
On smooth surfaces such as concrete or asphalt, the scraper bar should scrape the surface. On surfaces such as gravel, the scraper bar should be high enough so that it will not pick up gravel or debris.
The height of the scraper bar is controlled by raising or lowering the skid shoes (See Figure 10).
1. To raise the scraper bar | height, rest the scraper bar |
on a strip of wood equal | in thickness to the desired |
height. |

2. | Make sure the scraper | bar is parallel to the ground | ||

3. | Loosen the skid shoe | nuts and let the skid shoes | ||
| drop to the surface. |
|
| |
4. | Tighten the nuts, making sure the | skid shoes are | ||
| adjusted equally and are parallel to the surface. | |||
5. | To lower the | height of the scraper | bar, raise the skid | |
| shoes. |
|
|
|
6. | If the scraper | bar becomes worn, | it can be replaced | |
| by removing the hardware attaching it to the | |||
| snowthrower. |

|
On later models, the scraper bar is adjustable. (See Figure 10a). If desired scraper bar height adjustment
cannot be achieved solely by raising or lowering the skid shoes:
1.Loosen the nuts securing the scraper bar to the auger housing, and raise or lower the scraper bar until desired height is achieved.
2.Tighten the nuts, making sure the scraper bar is parallel with the bottom edge of the auger housing.
