Operation
DEFLECTOR
The distance of the discharged snow is mainly controlled
by the position of the deflector (Figure 9). (Engine speed
also affects distance of discharge. Always operate at
FULL throttle.)
The more the deflector is tilted UP, the farther snow will
be thrown. Loosen the deflector knob, tilt the deflector
UP or DOWN, and then retighten the knob when the
desired angle has been chosen.

SCRAPER BAR & SKID SHOES
On smooth surfaces such as concrete or asphalt, the
scraper bar should scrape the surface. On surfaces such
as gravel, the scraper bar should be high enough so that
it will not pick up gravel or debris.
The height of the scraper bar is controlled by raising or
lowering the skid shoes (See Figure 10).
1. To raise the scraper bar height, rest the scraper bar
on a strip of wood equal in thickness to the desired
height.
2. Make sure the scraper bar is parallel to the ground
surface.
3. Loosen the skid shoe nuts and let the skid shoes
drop to the surface.
4. Tighten the nuts, making sure the skid shoes are
adjusted equally and are parallel to the surface.
5. To lower the height of the scraper bar, raise the skid
shoes.
6. If the scraper bar becomes worn, it can be replaced
by removing the hardware attaching it to the
snowthrower.
