Chute Assembly
Refer to the Assembly & Set-up section for instructions on
adjusting the chute assembly.
Chute Assembly (Overhead Chute Control) (If so Equipped)
If the chute fails to remain stationary during operation, the
pre-load of the chute can be adjusted by tightening the hex nut
found on the front of the chute control assembly.
To increase the preload, tighten the hex nut clockwise in ¼ turn
intervals. See Figure 6-8.
Figure 6-8
If the chute directional control is difficult to crank, decrease the
preload by loosening the hex nut counterclockwise in ¼ turn
intervals.
Off-Season Storage
If the snow thrower will not be used for 30 days or longer, follow
the storage instructions below.
1. Run the engine until the fuel tank is empty and it stops due
to lack of fuel. Do not attempt to pour fuel from the engine.
2. Lubricate the machine as instructed earlier in this section.
3. Store in a clean, dry area.
4. If storing the snow thrower in an unventilated area,
rustproof the machine using a light oil or silicone to coat
the snow thrower.
5. Clean the exterior of the engine and the snow thrower.
NOTE: Refer to the Engine Operator’s Manual for information on
