Operating Tips
Warning
If snowthrower 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.
• 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 snowthrower strikes an object during operation,
stop the snowthrower, unplug the extension cord,
remove the obstruction, and check the snowthrower for
damage.

• To adjust the discharge chute, rotate the chute crank
clockwise to move the discharge chute to the left;
counterclockwise to move it to the right.
Note: The chute crank makes a noise as you turn the
crank. This is normal.
To adjust the height of the snow stream, raise or lower
the chute deflector handle (Fig. 8).

Warning
A gap between the discharge chute and the chute
deflector may allow the snowthrower 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 overtighten the locknuts that hold the
chute deflector in place.
• 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 snowthrower.
• Always overlap each swath and discharge the snow
downwind when possible.
