Clearing a Clogged
Discharge Chute
WARNING
If the auger/impeller is running but there is no
snow coming out of the discharge chute, the
discharge chute may be clogged.
Never use your hands to clear a clogged
discharge chute. This could result in personal
injury.
1.
While remaining in the operating position,
release the self-propel handle.
2.
Engage the auger.
3.
Push down on the handle to raise the front of
the machine a few centimeters (inches) off the
pavement, then lift the handles quickly to bump
the front of the machine onto the pavement.
4.
Disengage the auger.
5.
Repeat steps 1 through 4, if necessary, until
a stream of snow comes out of the discharge
chute.
Important:
If you cannot unclog the discharge
chute by bumping the front of the machine, shut
off the engine, wait for all moving parts to stop,
and use a snow-cleanout tool (not included).
Important:
Unclogging the discharge chute
by bumping the front of the machine on the
pavement may cause the skids to move. Adjust
the skids and tighten the skid bolts securely; refer
to
Checking and Adjusting the Skids (page 12)

Operating Tips
WARNING
The auger can throw stones, toys, and other

and throw.
•
Keep all children and pets away from the
area of operation.
•
Remove the snow as soon as possible after it falls.

Overlap each swath to ensure complete snow
removal.
