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 snow
throwers. Never use your hand to clean out the
discharge chute.
To clear the chute:
•
Shut the engine off !
•
Wait 10 seconds to be sure the rotor blades have
stopped rotating.
•
Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands
(Figure 24).

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
