Clearing a Clogged Discharge
Chute
WARNING
Hand contact with the rotating rotor blades inside
the discharge chute is the most common cause of
injury associated with machines. Never use your
hand to clean out the discharge chute.
To clear the chute:
•
Shut the engine off !
•
Wait 10 seconds to be sure the rotor blades have
stopped rotating.
•
Always use a cleanout tool, not your hands.
Preventing Freeze-up after Use
•
Let the engine run for a few minutes to prevent
moving parts from freezing. Stop the engine, wait
for all moving parts to stop, and remove ice and
snow from the machine.
•
Clean off any snow and ice from the base of the
chute.
•
Rotate the discharge chute left and right to free it
from any ice buildup.
•
With the ignition key in the Off position, pull the
recoil starter handle several times or connect the
electrical cord to a power source and the machine
and push the electric start button once (model 38454
only) to prevent the recoil starter and/or the electric
starter from freezing up.
•
In snowy and cold conditions, some controls and
moving parts may freeze. Do not use excessive force
when trying to operate frozen controls. If you have
difficulty operating any control or part, start the
engine and let it run for a few minutes.
Operating Tips
WARNING
The rotor blades can throw stones, toys, and other
foreign objects and cause serious personal injury to
the operator or to bystanders.
•
Keep the area to be cleared free of all objects
that the rotor blades could pick up and throw.
•
Keep all children and pets away from the area
of operation.
•
Remove the snow as soon as possible after it falls.
•
If the machine does not propel itself forward on
slippery surfaces or in heavy snow, push forward on
the handle, but allow the machine to work at its own
pace.
•
Overlap each swath to ensure complete snow
removal.
•
Discharge the snow downwind whenever possible.
