CONTROLS/LOCATION AND OPERATION
3 - 6 Single Stage Snowthrower Service Manual
The curved rotor is necessary to draw the snow
towards the center, where the chute is (Figure 22). The
upper part of the rotor housing is an inverted cone,
which has two functions. This directs the snow
towards the chute, and also serves to resist plugging.
Figure 22 1352-01
The discharge chute and deflector are not
interchangeable from model to model (Figure 23).
However, they are made from the same basic design.
The deflector mounts on top of the chute and
determines the height of the snow stream.
Figure 23 1352-05
The bolts on either side of the deflector must be
sufficiently tight to prevent the snow stream from
causing the deflector to move.
CHUTE ROTATION AND DETENT
SYSTEMS
Powerlite Chute System
On Powerlite models, the chute attaches to a handle,
which also is the base and contains detents which
resemble gear teeth. The handle or base sets in a
groove at the top of the rotor housing. The front of the
housing is open to allow the handle to slip in. The front
opening is closed by the addition of the chute retainer,
which is held in place by four screws (Figure 24).
