Clearing a Clogged Discharge Chute
DANGER
Amputation hazard
The discharge chute contains a rotating impeller to
throw snow. Fingers can quickly become caught in
the impeller. Never clear or unclog the discharge
chute with your hands. Always use a clean-out tool.
Failure to observe these safety instructions will result
in traumatic amputation or severe laceration.
Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside the dis-
charge chute is the most common cause of injury associ-
ated with snowthrowers. Never use your hands to clean out
the discharge chute.
