Setting Up 
Your Snow 
Thrower
NOTE: References to 
right or left side of the 
snow thrower are deter-
mined from behind the 
unit in the operating 
position.
1.  Observe the lower rear area of the snow thrower to 
be sure both cables are aligned with roller guides. 
Pull up and back on the upper handle, align the 
upper handle with the lower handle. See Figure 3-1.
2.  Secure the handle by tightening the plastic wing 
knob located on both the left and right sides of the 
handle. Remove and discard any rubber bands, if 
present. They are for packaging purposes only. See 
Figure 3-2.
3.  Position the chute assembly over the base, seated 
securely on adapter. 
See Figure 3-3.
4.  Close the flange keepers to secure the chute 
assembly to the chute base. The flange keepers will 
click into place when properly secure. 
See Figure 
3-4.
NOTE: If the flange keepers will not easily click into 
place, use the palm of your hand to apply swift, firm 
pressure to the back of each.
5.  Remove the flat washer and hairpin clip from the end 
of the chute directional control. 
See Figure 3-5.
  Insert the end of the chute directional control into 
the lower bracket and secure with the flat washer 
and hairpin clip just removed. If necessary, the lower 
bracket can be adjusted. Refer to Chute Bracket Ad-
justment, in the Adjustment Section of this manual.
IMPORTANT: Prior to operating your snow thrower, 
refer to Auger Control Test on page 11. Read and follow 
all instructions carefully and perform all adjustments 
to verify your snow thrower is operating safely and 
properly.
NOTE: Two replace-
ment auger shear pins 
are included with this 
manual (or stowed 
in the plastic handle 
panel). Refer to Augers 
in the Maintainance 
Section for more 
information regarding 
shear pin replacement.
NOTE: This Operator’s 
Manual covers several 
models, handle panels, 
lights and chute cranks 
are some features that 
may vary by model.  
Not all features refer-
enced in this manual 
are applicable to all 
snow thrower models.
