up and down direction only. If it becomes necessary
to move across the face of a slope, use caution and
do not blow snow. Be very careful when changing
direction on a slope.

Check the Chute Direction Control (D, Figure 1) for
proper operation. The discharge chute should rotate
freely in both directions. See the Service section for
adjustment procedures and troubleshooting.
Proper winter footwear is recommended for the
operator to help prevent slipping. Never attempt to
clean snow from excessively steep slopes. The
maximum slope for any operation is 17.7% (10º).
Check the Chute Deflector (E, Figure 1) for proper
operation. The deflector should pivot freely up and
down when the Chute Deflector Knob is loosened. If
adjustment is required, see the Service Section for
procedures.
WARNING

Position the chute at the desired starting direction
and set the deflector at the desired angle.
Gasoline is highly flammable and must be handled
with care. Never fill the tank when the engine is hot or
running. Always move outdoors to fill the tank. Keep
snowthrower and gasoline away from open flame or
spark.

Check the Speed Selector (A, Figure 1) for smooth
operation. The control must move freely into each
speed position gate and remain in position when
released. If the Speed Selector does not move freely
into all forward and reverse speed positions, contact
your local authorized dealer for assistance.
