Adjusting the Discharge Chute
and Chute Deflector

control rod in the direction that you wish to direct the snow stream
(Figure 6 and Figure 7).

WARNING
A gap between the discharge chute and the chute
deflector may allow the machine to throw snow and
objects in the direction of the operator. Thrown objects
could cause serious personal injury.
•
Do not force the chute deflector too far forward so
that a gap appears between the discharge chute
and chute deflector.
•
Do not adjust the chute deflector with the power
control bar engaged. Release the power control bar
before adjusting the chute deflector.
Operating Tips
WARNING
If the machine hits an object while in operation, the
object could be thrown in operator's or bystander's
direction. Thrown objects could cause serious
personal injury.
Keep the area to be cleared free of all objects which
may be picked up and thrown by the rotor blades.
•
Check the condition of the machine before operating it to
ensure that the rotor turns freely.
•
Always keep children and pets away from the area of
operation.
•
Keep the area to be cleared free of stones, toys, or other
objects which the rotor blades can throw. Such items could
be covered by snowfall and go unnoticed. If the machine
strikes an object during operation, stop the machine, unplug
the extension cord, remove the obstruction, and check the
machine for damage.
•
Begin removing snow near the electrical outlet and work
outward. Blow back and forth, not away from and toward the
outlet.
•
When turning at the end of a swath, step over the cord and
turn the machine.
•
Always overlap each swath and discharge the snow downwind
when possible.
