Assembling the Discharge Chute
For shipping reasons, the snow thrower has been
packaged with the upper chute pivoted all the way down.
To pivot it upward, proceed as follows:
1. Turn the chute until the chute opening is facing
straight ahead.
2. Remove the knob and carriage bolt from the lower
chute. See Figure 2.
3. Pivot the upper chute upward over the lip on the lower
chute so that there is NO gap between the upper
chute and the lower chute.
4. Re-secure with the hardware just removed. If installed
correctly, your snow thrower should look like Figure 3.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the chute handle to lift the
snow thrower
