Operator Safety
Discharge Chute Warning
DANGER
Amputation hazard
The discharge chute contains a rotating impeller to throw snow. Fingers can
quickly become caught in the impeller. Never clear or unclog the discharge chute
with your hands. Always use a clean-out tool.
Failure to observe these safety instructions will result in traumatic amputation
or severe laceration.
Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside the discharge chute is the most common
cause of injury associated with snowthrowers. Never use your hands to clean out the
discharge chute.
To safely clear a clogged discharge chute, follow these instructions:
1.
Shut OFF the engine.
2.
Wait 10 seconds to be sure the impeller blades have stopped rotating.
3.
Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands.
