NOTE:  The upper hole in the control handle provides
for adjustment in belt and cable tension. Refer to page
9 of this manual for instructions.

To install the upper crank of the chute directional 
control, proceed as follows:

•

Thread one of the hex nuts (they are 
interchangeable) included in the snow thrower’s 
hardware pack  all the way onto the eye bolt.

•

Insert the eye bolt into the hole found in the lower 
handle’s crossbar. See Figure 4.

•

Fasten the eye bolt to the crossbar with the saddle 
washer (cupped side UP) and the other hex nut as 
illustrated in Figure 4. Do NOT tighten at this time.

•

Insert the chute directional control through the 
eyebolt and into the coupler found in the top right 
area of the snow thrower’s shroud. See Figure 5.

•

Rotate the chute directional control to align the hole 
in the coupler with the hole in the chute directional 
control, and insert the cotter pin through both holes. 
Bend the ends of cotter pin in opposite directions to 
secure it in place. See Figure 5.

•

Thread the eye bolt’s lower hex nut upward or 
downward to adjust the height of the eye bolt so 
that the chute directional control  does not bind in 
the coupler when operated.

•

Fininsh by threading the upper hex nut downward 
against the crossbar and tightening securely.

For shipping reasons, the snow thrower has been 
packaged with the upper chute pivoted all the way 
down. To pivot it upward, proceed as follows: 

•

Turn the chute directional control until the chute 
opening is facing straight ahead.

•

Remove the wing knob, flat washer and carriage 
bolt from the upper chute. See Figure 6.

•

Pivot the upper chute upward over the lip on the 
lower chute so that there is NO gap between the 
upper chute and the lower chute. See Figure 6.

•

Resecure with the hardware just removed.
