Positioning the Upper Handle

NOTE: Remove packing material, if present.
1. Making sure not to pinch the cable in the process,

pivot the upper handle into the operating position as
illustrated in Figure 3-1 until it clicks into place.

2. Tighten the wing knobs to secure the handle in place

as in Figure 3-1.

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:
NOTE: Turn the chute until the chute opening is facing
straight ahead.
1. Remove the wing knob, flat washer and carriage bolt

from the lower chute. See Figure 3-2.

2. 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.

3. Re-secure with the hardware just removed. If installed

correctly, your snow thrower should look like Figure
3-3.

IMPORTANT: Do not use the chute handle to lift the
snow thrower
