FROZEN STARTER
HOW TO CLEAR
A CLOGGED DISCHARGE CHUTE
WARNING: Hand contact with the rotating im-
peller inside the discharge chute is the most
common cause of injury associated with snow
blowers. NEVER USE YOUR HAND TO CLEAN OUT
THE DISCHARGE CHUTE.
To Clear The Chute:
SHUT OFF THE ENGINE!
Wait 10 seconds to be sure that the impeller blades
have stopped rotating.
Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands.
A clean-out tool is attached to either the handle or the top of
the auger housing (see Figure 19). Use the clean-out tool to
remove snow from the auger housing.
How To Use The Clean-Out Tool
Release the auger drive lever.
Pull out the safety key.
Disconnect spark plug wire.
Do not place your hands in the auger or discharge
chute. Use a clean-out tool to remove snow or debris.
WARNING: Blockage must be cleared only after
shutting off the snow blower and only with a
clean-out tool, not by hand.
Figure 19
Clean-out Tool
If the starter is frozen and will not turn engine:
1. Pull as much rope out of the starter as possible.
2. Release the starter handle and let it snap back against the
starter. Repeat until the engine starts.
Warm engines will cause condensation in cold weather. To help
prevent possible freeze-up of recoil starter and engine controls,
proceed as follows after each snow removal job.
1. With engine off, allow engine to cool for several minutes.
2. Pull starter rope very slowly until resistance is felt, then stop.
Allow the starter rope to recoil. Repeat three times.
3. With the engine not running, wipe all snow and moisture from
the carburetor cover in area of control levers. Also move
choke knob and starter handle several times.
WARNING: Never run engine indoors or in enclosed,
poorly ventilated areas. Engine exhaust contains CARBON
MONOXIDE, AN ODORLESS AND DEADLY GAS. Keep hands,
feet, hair and loose clothing away from any moving parts on
engine and snowthrower.
Engine parts, especially the muffler, become extremely hot.
Severe thermal burns can occur on contact. Allow the engine
to cool before touching.
Never allow children to operate the snowthrower. Never allow
adults to operate the snowthrower without proper instruction.
Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, particularly
small children, and pets.
Never leave the snowthrower unattended while the engine is
running. Anyone operating the engine or equipment must
carefully read and understand the operating instructions.
IMPORTANT: After each use of the snowthrower, stop the engine,
remove the safety/ignition key, remove all accumulated snow
from the snowthrower and wipe clean. Store the snowthrower in
a protected area.
NOTE: Never cover snowthrower while engine and exhaust area
are still warm.
