A snow thrower comprised of a snow chute and chute deflector includes a joystick controller that may be adjusted between first, second, third and fourth positions. Adjustment of the joystick into one of the four positions causes rotation of the chute in clockwise and counterclockwise direction or causes the deflector to pivot upward or downward respectively. Both, the chute and the deflector are actuated by electric motors.
