freely in both directions. See the Service section for
adjustment procedures and troubleshooting.
Proper  winter   footwear  is  recommended   for  the

clean  snow  from  excessively   steep  slopes.   The
maximum slope for any operation is 17.7% (10º).

down when the Chute Deflector Knob is loosened. If
adjustment is required, see the Service Section for

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.
