SNOWTHROWER CONTROLS
Auger Control
A. Auger Control - This control engages and disen-
gages the auger. Pull the control back against handle
to engage the auger, (this will pull snowthrower for-
ward if auger is in contact with the ground). Release
the Auger Control to stop rotation of auger.
Deflector Controls
B. Chute Direction Control - The Chute Direction
Control (B, Figures 4&5) allows the discharge chute
to be rotated to throw snow in the desired direction.
Snow may be thrown at any angle from straight left to
straight forward, to straight right.
The length of the chute direction control can be
adjusted. Remove the cotter pin (A, Figure 5) to
extend or shorten the rod to desired length, then rein-
stall the pin.
C. Chute Deflector - Controls the distance snow is
thrown. Tilting the Chute Deflector (C, Figure 4) UP
provides a higher stream and greater distance, while
tilting the deflector DOWN provides a lower stream
and less distance.
