Clearing
a Clogged
Discharge
Chute
Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside the discharge
chute is the most common cause of injury associated with
snow throwers. Never use your hand to clean out the dis-
charge chute. To clear the chute:
1.
SHUT THE ENGINE OFF!
2.
Wait 10 seconds to be sure the impeller blades have
stopped rotating.
3.
Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands.
Maintenance
and Storage
1.
Check shear bolts and other bolts at frequent intervals
for proper tightness to be sure the equipment is in safe
working condition.
2.
Never store the machine with fuel in the fuel tank
inside a building where ignition sources are present
such as hot water heaters, space heaters, or clothes
dryers. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any
enclosure.
3.
Always refer to operator's manual for important details
if the snow thrower is to be stored for an extended
period.
4.
Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as
necessary.
5.
Run the machine a few minutes after throwing snow
to prevent freeze-up of the collector/impeller.
