Removing a blockage
Clogging of the feed auger is in most cases caused by drive speed. If the auger can’t throw the snow fast
enough, drive speed must be reduced. Clogging of the discharge chute is affected by the type of snow in
addition to engine rpm. Do not hit the snow blower against the ground to clear blockages, as the attachment
may get damaged. If the snow blower gets blocked or stops unexpectedly, stop the attachment by following
the safe stopping procedure and check the discharge chute.
The discharge chute guard can also be used as a tool to
clear any blockage of the snow blower. Lock the protector
carefully to its place immediately after use. Ensure that the
locking pin of the guard has positively locked the guard to
the snow blower.
DANGER
Entanglement and cutting hazards - Never put your
hands inside the discharge chute.
Beware of cutting and
entanglement hazards near the snow blower, never leave the
driver’s seat if the attachment is switched on, or if it can start
unexpectedly. Always stop the snow blower and the loader
following the safe stopping procedure before going near the
attachment. Always use suitable tool to clear blockages,
never put your hands inside the discharge chute. The
discharge chute guard can be used to clear the chute, lock
the guard in its place immediately after clearing a blockage.
WARNING
Beware of entanglement and crushing hazards especially
when removing blockages.
If a blockage is cleared without
first turning off the auxiliary hydraulics of the loader, the
mover screw will start immediately and potentially cause
severe injuries. Always stop the attachment by turning the
auxiliary hydraulics control lever to its neutral position before
leaving the driver’s seat, shut down the loader engine and
release the residual pressure of the hydraulic system.
