Tarmo XTP121 Instruction Manual page 71

Disengage power to the auger when transporting
or not in use.
Disengage all control levers and stop engine
before you leave the operating position (behind the
handles). Wait until the auger comes to a complete
stop before unclogging the chute assembly,
making any adjustments, or inspections.
Hand contact with the rotating parts inside the
discharge chute is the most common cause of
injury associated with snow blowers. Do not unclog
chute assembly while engine is running. Shut off
engine and remain behind handles until all moving
parts have stopped before unclogging. Never put
your hand in the discharge or collector openings.
Always use the clean-out tool provided to unclog
the discharge opening.
