Clogging Checklist
In case of clogging, the snow throwing action will decrease and finally stop. When this occurs, disengage the
PTO clutch, stop the engine, disconnect the fuel solenoid wire [diesel engines] or spark plug wire(s) [gasoline
engines], and remove the ignition key.
Make sure all movement has stopped before attempting to unclog.
DO NOT attempt to unclog the snowblower or make any adjustments with the
tractor engine running. Disengage the PTO clutch, stop the engine, and wait
for all moving parts to stop before unclogging the snowblower.
DANGER
!
NEVER place hands in the blower spout. DO NOT use hands or feet to unclog the
snowblower. Use a short stick or similar tool to remove any clogged material.
DANGER
!
The following list of items should be checked if a pattern of clogging begins to develop. All of these items
are capable of causing clogging:
• Check that the inside of the snowblower housing is
clean and free of snow and/or ice buildup.
• Check that the auger and impeller shear pins are present.
• Check that the auger is in good condition and not bent (both the auger flighting and the center
paddles).
• Check the inside of the blower chute for
smoothness and freedom of obstruction.
Remember, anything that restricts airflow or material flow along the entire path from the auger to the blower
chute can cause clogging.
