To lower the snow thrower, push downward on the lift handle until there is enough slack in the lift cable so that you may squeeze the trigger control. With the trigger control squeezed, gently allow the snow thrower to lower until it reaches the ground. Chute Directional Control The chute directional control assembly is found on the left side of the tractor and includes both the chute tilt lever as well as the chute crank. Both affect the direction that the discharged snow is thrown. • To pivot the upper section of discharge chute, affecting the distance and angle which the snow is thrown, move the chute tilt lever forward or rearward into a desired position. The direction which snow is thrown can be changed by rotating the discharge chute with the chute crank. Turn the chute crank clockwise to rotate the chute and discharge snow to the left. Crank it counterclockwise to rotate the chute and discharge snow to the right. • • SECTION 8: OPERATION Your snow thrower attachment is capable of displacing snow and clearing a path a width of 42 inches.
