Adjusting the Discharge
Chute and Chute Deflector
To adjust the discharge chute, move the handle on
the chute-control rod in the direction that you wish to
direct the snow stream.
To adjust the chute deflector (and therefore the height
of the snow stream), squeeze the trigger and raise or
lower the chute deflector

1. Chute deflector trigger
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.

Clearing a Clogged
Discharge Chute
WARNING
Contacting a rotating rotor with your hands
inside the discharge chute could cause
serious personal injury.
Never use your hands to clean out the
discharge chute.
1. Shut off the motor, remove the electric-start
button, and remove the battery pack.
2. Wait 10 seconds to ensure that the rotor blades
have stopped rotating.
3. Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands, to
clear the chute.
Operating Tips
WARNING
The rotor can throw stones, toys, and other
foreign objects and cause serious personal
g318452
injury to you or bystanders.
• Keep the area to be cleared free of all
objects that the rotor blades could pick up
and throw.
• Keep all children and pets away from the
area of operation.
•
Remove the snow as soon as possible after it falls.
•
Push the machine forward, but allow it to work at
its own pace.
•
Overlap each swath to ensure complete snow
removal.
•
Discharge the snow downwind whenever possible.
