Chute
WARNING
If the auger/impeller is running but there is no
snow coming out of the discharge chute, the
discharge chute may be clogged.
Never use your hands to clear a clogged discharge
chute. This could result in personal injury.
•
To unclog the discharge chute, stay in the operating
position and release the left (traction) lever. While
running the auger/impeller, push down on the handles to
raise the front of the machine a few centimeters (inches)
off the pavement. Then lift the handles quickly to bump
the front of the machine on the pavement. Repeat if
necessary until a stream of snow comes out the discharge
chute.
•
If you cannot unclog the discharge chute by bumping
the front of the machine, shut off the engine, wait for
all moving parts to stop, and use the snow-cleanout
tool; never use your hand.
Important: Unclogging the discharge chute by
bumping the front of the machine on the pavement
may cause the skids to move. Adjust the skids and
tighten the skid bolts securely.
