Discharge Chute Deflector
ALWAYS position discharge chute deflector at a safe
angle before starting engine.
DO NOT throw snow any higher than necessary.
Push deflector handle forward or down to throw snow
lower. Pull deflector handle up or to the rear to throw
snow higher.
IMPORTANT: If Chute Deflector does not stay in set
position, adjust as directed in SERVICE AND
ADJUSTMENTS on page 18, or repair before
operation.
Discharge Chute
Discharge chute rotates 195°.
ALWAYS position discharge chute in safe direction and
angle, away from operator and bystanders, before
starting engine.
Chute Crank (932041, 042, 141, 509, 510, 511)
IMPORTANT: If chute does not stay in set position,
adjust as directed in SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS
on page 18, or repair before operation.
Rotate the Chute with Discharge Chute Crank Handle.

Start engine and run for 3-5 minutes to thaw. If still
frozen, take to warm place until controls are free.

IMPORTANT: If chute does not stay in set position,
adjust as directed in SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS
on page 18, or repair before operation.
Rotate the Chute with Discharge Chute Handle.
Always stand opposite the direction of snow discharge
when rotating the discharge chute.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT force frozen chute controls. If

Axle Lock Pin (Figure 9)
Use the axle lock pin to lock or unlock the right or left
wheel. Lock both wheels to increase traction; unlock
one wheel to allow for easier turning of the unit.
NOTE: Unit will not drive with both wheels unlocked.
Scraper Blade
The scraper blade allows the back of the housing to
keep better contact with the surface being cleared. It
also prevents damage to the housing from normal
wear.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT allow Scraper Blade to wear
too far or Auger/Impeller housing will become
damaged.
Runners
The runners control the distance between the scraper
blade and the ground. Adjust runners equally to keep
blade level with the ground. Refer to Pre-Start on
page 14 for recommended settings.
WARNING: Hand contact with the rotating
impeller is the most common cause of injury
associated with snow throwers. Never use
your hand to clean out the discharge chute.
