Clearing a Clogged Discharge
Chute
Important: Hand contact with the rotating rotor blades
inside the discharge chute is the most common cause of
injury associated with machine. Never use your hand to
clean out the discharge chute.
To clear the chute:
•
Shut the engine off !
•
Wait 10 seconds to be sure the rotor blades have stopped
rotating.
•
Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands.
Self-propelling the Machine
Lift the handle until the wheels are just off the ground and
the scraper and rotor blades touch the ground, The machine
will propel forward (Figure 26).
1. Wheels off the ground
Note: By slightly varying lifting force on the handle, you can
control the forward speed of the machine. In heavy snow,
push forward on the handle, if necessary, but let the machine
work at its own pace. Do not lift the handle any more than
necessary, because the scraper will lift off the ground and
snow will escape behind the machine.
Preventing Freeze-up after Use
•
Let the engine run for a few minutes to prevent moving
parts from freezing. Stop the engine, wait for all moving
parts to stop, and remove ice and snow from the machine.
•
Clean off any snow and ice from the base of the chute.
•
Rotate the discharge chute left and right to free it from
any ice buildup.
•
With the ignition key in the Off position, pull the recoil
starter handle several times or connect the electrical cord
