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 snowthrowers. Never use your
hand to clean out the discharge chute.
To clear the chute:
•
Ensure that the engine is in the Off position.
•
Wait 10 seconds to be sure the rotor blades have stopped
rotating.
•
Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands.
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
to a power source and the machine and push the electric
start button once to prevent the recoil starter and/or the
electric starter from freezing up.
•
In snowy and cold conditions, some controls and moving
parts may freeze. Do not use excessive force when
trying to operate frozen controls. If you have difficulty
operating any control or part, start the engine and let it
run for a few minutes.
