ChuteAssembly
The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by
changing the angle of the chute assembly. To do so,
stop the engine by removing the ignition key and loosen
the plastic wing knobs found on either side of the
discharge chute. Pivot the chute upward or downward
before re-tightening the wing knobs.
SkidShoes
The space between the shave plate and the ground can
be adjusted. For close snow removal, place skid shoes
in the low position. Use middle or high position when
area to be cleared is uneven. See Figure 21.
