The chute rotation is manually controlled, offering directional control of the snow stream.

Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for damage or wear. Replace worn or damaged parts promptly to maintain optimal performance.
- Replace Shear Pins: Keep extra shear pins on hand. These protect the auger gearbox from damage if it encounters a hard object. Replace them immediately if they break.
- Use Fuel Stabilizer: Add fuel stabilizer to the gasoline before storing the snow blower for the off-season. This prevents fuel degradation and ensures easier starting next winter.
- Adjust Skid Shoes: Adjust the skid shoes to match the surface you're clearing. Raise them for gravel or uneven surfaces and lower them for paved driveways.
