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 become lodged in the chute assembly
during operation, proceed as follows to safely clean the
chute assembly and chute opening:
• Release both the Auger Control and the Drive
Control
.
• 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 chute assembly.
WARNING:
Never use your hands to clean
snow and ice from the chute assembly 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 control for a
few seconds to clear any remaining snow and ice
from the chute assembly.
Drift Cutters
(on models so 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 2.

(on models so equipped)
Tire chains should be used whenever extra traction is
needed. If your unit is not equipped with tire chains,
contact Customer Support as instructed for
information regarding price and availability.
Operating Tips
NOTE:
Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes
after starting. The engine will not develop full power
until it reaches operating temperature.
WARNING:
The muffler, engine and
surrounding areas become hot and can
cause a burn. Do not touch.
• Discharge snow downwind whenever possible.
• Slightly overlap each previous swath.
• Set the skid shoes 1/4” below the scraper bar for
normal usage. The skid shoes may be adjusted
upward for hard-packed snow. Adjust downward
when using on gravel or crushed rock.
• Avoid possible starter freeze-up. Clean the snow
thrower thoroughly after each use.
