Chute Crank
Skid Shoe
The chute crank is located on the left
side of the snow thrower. Use it to
change the direction in which snow is
thrown. Avoid directing at persons,
animals, cars and buildings.
The skid shoe position is normally determined by the
surface from which snow has to be removed. Loose
surfaces (e.g. gravel or stone) require raising the snow
thrower by adjusting the skid shoe to a lower position.
Adjust accordingly.
