Clearing a Clogged Discharge 
Chute 

Important:  The  most  common  cause  of  injury 
associated  with  snow  blowers  is  from  hand 
contact  with  the  rotating  rotor  blades  inside 
the  discharge  chute.  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 clean-out tool, not your hands.
