Electric Chute Control
Starting in 2012, an electric 4-way chute control sys-
tem is available for some snow thrower models. There are
two versions of the system:
• Electric chute control with heated hand grips
• Electric chute control without heated hand grips
Both systems have two motors, one for pitch and the
other for chute rotation. Both systems also have a module
that supplies power to the electric motors.
If the unit does not have heated hand grips, the mod-
ule is a simple dual rectifier that will take the AC power
output of the alternator, convert it to DC and combine it
with the DC output of the alternator, increasing the power
available to the motors. See Figure 11.29.
If the unit has heated hand grips, the module will also
have a relay. As the joystick is operated, switches inside
the joystick close sending power to the motors. the joystick
also sends power to the module, energizing the relay, removing the power from the heated hand grips. See Figure
11.30.
NOTE: For 2012 model year units, the module is located in the harness. In 2013 the module was integrated
into the joystick.
