The direction of snow removal can be adjusted up to 180º.
 To rotate chute: Using the chute rotation handle, rotate
the chute until it clicks into desired position on the chute
locking plate.
The distance the snow is moved is adjusted using the chute
deflector handle.
 Depress the deflector latch and move the chute deflector
backward (up) to increase the distance the snow will be
thrown.
WARNING:
Do not force the chute so far forward that a gap appears
between the deflector and the chute itself. Snow or other
debris could be thrown through the gap back at the op-
erator, resulting in serious personal injury.
