Chute Clean-Out Tool

The chute clean-out tool is conveniently fastened to the 
rear of the auger housing with a mounting clip. Should 
snow and ice lodge itself in the discharge chute during 
operation, proceed as follows to safely clean the chute 
and chute opening:

Release both the Auger Control Lever and the 
Traction/Auger Control Lock Lever.

Stop the engine by removing the ignition key. 

Remove the clean-out tool from the clip which 
secures it to the rear of the auger housing. 

Use the shovel-shaped end of the clean-out tool to 
dislodge and scoop any snow and ice which has 
formed in and near the discharge chute.

WARNING:  Never use your hands to clean
snow and ice from the discharge chute or
auger housing

Refasten the clean-out tool to the mounting clip on 
the rear of the auger housing, reinsert the ignition 
key and start the snow thrower’s engine.

While standing in the operator’s position (behind 
the snow thrower), engage the auger clutch lever 
for a few seconds to clear any remaining snow and 
ice from the discharge chute.

Drift Cutters

 

(If Equipped)

Drift cutters should be used when operating the snow 
thrower in heavy drift conditions. 

On models so equipped, drift cutters are assembled to 
the auger housing inverted. Remove the carriage bolts 
by unthreading the hex nuts which secure them, and 
reinstall the drift cutters in their proper position before 
operating the snow thrower. See Figure 8.

If your unit is not equipped with drift cutters, contact 
Customer Support as instructed on page 2 for 
information regarding price and availability.

Operating Tips

NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes.
The engine will not develop full power until it reaches
operating temperature.

WARNING: The temperature of the muffler
and the surrounding areas may exceed

150

°

F. Avoid these areas.

For the most efficient snow removal, remove snow 
immediately after it falls.

Discharge the snow downwind whenever possible. 

Slightly overlap each previous path.

Set the skid shoes 1/4" below the shave plate for 
normal usage. The skid shoes may be adjusted 
upward (to lower the shave plate) for hard-packed 
snow. Adjust downward (to raise the shave plate) 
when using on gravel or crushed rock.

Be certain to follow the precautions found in the To 
Stop Engine section to prevent possible freeze-up.

Clean the snow thrower thoroughly after each use.
