WARNING:
The temperature of the muffler
and the surrounding areas may exceed 150°F.
Avoid these areas.
For efficiency in job, remove snow immediately
after it falls.
Discharge snow downwind whenever possible.
Slightly overlap each previous path.
Set the skid shoes 1/4" below the shave plate for
normal usage. Adjust it upward for hard-packed
snow and downward when using on gravel or
crushed rock.
Chute Clean-Out T ool
The chute clean-out tool is conveniently fastened to the
rear of the auger housing with a mounting clip. Never
use your hand to clean a clogged chute or chute
opening; use this clean-out tool instead.
Release both the auger control lever and the
traction/auger control lock lever.
Stop the engine by removing the ignition key.
Remove the clean-out tool from the clip which
secures it to the rear of the auger housing. See
Figure 7.
Use the shovel-shaped
end of the clean-out tool to
remove any snow and ice in the discharge chute.
Re-fasten the clean-out tool to the mounting clip on
the rear of the auger housing and restart engine.
While standing in the operator's position (behind
the snow thrower), engage the auger clutch lever
for a few seconds to clear any remaining snow or
ice from the discharge chute before continuing to
clear snow.
