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).
