2. Set the discharge chute (open side forward) onto the
discharge opening so that the chute retainers are on the
chute ring (Fig. 7).
Note: Ensure that the chute retainer guide pins are in
the holes in the chute gear.
3. Tighten the screw and the locknut on the left side to
position the chute retainer against the chute retainer
plate and to secure the discharge chute to the chute ring
(Fig. 7).
4. Push the other chute retainers toward the discharge
chute (slotted), and tighten the screws (Fig. 7).
5. Ensure that the chute rotates freely on the chute ring. If
the chute binds, move the right-hand retainer outward
(Fig. 7).

2. Position the worm gear into the bracket, align the holes,
and insert the chute gear rod through the bracket and the
gear (Fig. 8).
3. Loosely mount the worm gear and the bracket to the
mounting flange with a carriage bolt, a flat washer, and
a locknut (Fig. 8).
4. Slide the worm gear into the teeth of the chute gear and
tighten the locknut.
5. Operate the chute control. If the chute control binds,
apply a light coat of grease to the worm gear and move
it slightly outward if it binds; move it slightly inward if
it is too loose.
Installing the Skids
1. Check the air pressure in the tires; refer to Checking the
Tire Pressure on page 13.
2. Move the snowthrower to a flat surface and ensure that
the scraper (Fig. 9) is parallel to the ground. If it is not,
adjust the scraper; refer to Adjusting the Skids and the
Scraper on page 20.
