Adjusting the Discharge Chute

Danger

When the snowthrower is in operation, the
impeller and auger can be rotating and cut off or
injure hands and feet.

Before adjusting, cleaning, repairing and
inspecting the snowthrower, and before
unclogging the discharge chute, disengage the
PTO, stop the engine, remove the key, and wait
for all moving parts to stop.

Use a stick, not your hands, to remove an
obstruction from the discharge chute.

Stay away from the discharge and auger
openings while operating the snowthrower.

Keep face, hands, feet, and any other part of
your body or clothing away from concealed,
moving, or rotating parts.

You can rotate the discharge chute 180 degrees side to side
by turning the crank handle (Fig. 31).
