Abstract
Outdoor power equipment includes a chassis, a blower housing, a discharge housing, and a deflector assembly. The blower housing is supported by the chassis. The discharge housing is coupled to the blower housing and is defined by a first discharge chute and a second discharge chute that extend in opposite directions. An impeller is received within the blower housing and is configured to rotate within the blower housing to direct air from the blower housing toward the discharge housing. The deflector assembly is supported by the chassis and includes an actuator and a deflector. The deflector is movable within the discharge housing in response to movement by the actuator to selectively direct flow from the blower housing through the first and second discharge chutes.
