3. Secure the deflector to the discharge chute with 2 carriage bolts, metal washers, and locknuts. Extension Cord Chart If length of extension cord is less than or equal to: Note: Ensure that the square shoulders on the carriage bolts align with the inside square on the discharge chute. Position the metal washers to the outside of the chute deflector as shown in Figure 5. Do not overtighten the bolts. Assure wire size gauge (A.W.G.) in cord is: 100 ft. (30 m) 150 ft.
Operating Tips the handle socket, insert the enlarged prong into the wide slot in the extension cord end. Refer to Important Safety Instructions on page 3 for additional information. Warning 1 If snowthrower hits a foreign object while in operation, the object could be thrown in operator’s or bystander’s direction. Thrown objects could cause serious personal injury. Keep the area to be cleared free of all foreign objects which may be picked up and thrown by the rotor blades.
Warning Warning A gap between the discharge chute and the chute deflector may allow snow and anything that can be picked up by snowthrower to fly in the direction of the operator. Thrown objects could cause serious personal injury. When using the secondary handle, never direct the snow discharge chute at the operator or at bystanders. The snowthrower can throw foreign objects and cause serious personal injury.
Maintenance Replacing the Rotor 1. Remove the 3 screws that secure the right side cover and the skid to the snowthrower frame (Fig. 13).
