Just looking at your blower it appears to be identical to my 451. My 451 comes with a bend in the lift rod to clear the front axle. I have hydraulic lift for mine so yours may be for the hydraulic lift. After dragging mine around a bit if you are using manual lift you will definitely need spring assist. That puppy is very heavy. Without spring assist your right arm will be of weightlifter quality by the end of the winter.
