Clearing a Clogged Discharge
Chute
Hand contact with the rotating auger blades inside
the discharge chute is the most common cause
of injury associated with snow throwers. Never
use your hand to clean out the discharge chute.
To clear the chute:
1. SHUT THE ENGINE OFF!
2. Wait 10 seconds to be sure the auger blades have
stopped rotating.
3. Always use a clearing tool at least 15 inches long, not
your hands (Figure 18).
