Clearing a Clogged
Discharge Chute
WARNING
If the auger/impeller is running but there is no
snow coming out of the discharge chute, the
discharge chute may be clogged.
Never use your hands to clear a clogged
discharge chute. This could result in personal
injury.
•
To unclog the discharge chute, stay in the
operating position and release the left (traction)
lever. While running the auger/impeller, push down
on the handles to raise the front of the machine a
few centimeters (inches) off the pavement. Then
lift the handles quickly to bump the front of the
machine on the pavement. Repeat if necessary
until a stream of snow comes out the discharge
chute.
•
If you cannot unclog the discharge chute by
bumping the front of the machine,
shut off the
engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and
use the snow-cleanout tool (
Figure 13 ).
Important:
Unclogging the discharge chute
by bumping the front of the machine on the
pavement may cause the skids to move. Adjust
the skids and tighten the skid bolts securely;
refer to
Checking and Adjusting the Skids and
Scraper (page 20) .
