Clearing a Clogged Discharge Chute

DANGER

The discharge chute contains a rotating impeller to throw

snow. Fingers can quickly become caught in the impeller

resulting in traumatic amputation or severe laceration. Never

clear a clogged discharge chute with your hands. Always use

a clean-out tool.

To safely clear a clogged discharge chute, follow these

instructions:

1. Stop the engine and remove the key.

2. Ensure that the impeller has stopped rotating.

3. Use a clean-out tool (A, Figure 10) to remove snow from

the discharge chute. Never clear a clogged discharge chute

with your hands!

Using the Headlight

Some models are equipped with a headlight (L, Figure 5) to

help illuminate the area in front of the snowthrower. The

headlight is on whenever the engine is running. There is no

switch.

Using the Heated Hand Grips

1. Turn on the grip warmer switch (A, Figure 11) to activate

the heated hand grips.

2. Turn off the grip warmer switch before stopping the

snowthrower.

Using the Wheel Release - Lock Pins

One or both wheels can be temporarily disengaged from the

drive axles for ease of handling when transporting the unit.

1. Open the pull ring (A, Figure 12) over the wheel hub.

2. Insert the retaining pin through the outer hole in the axle

and close the pull ring over the axle.

3. To engage the wheel and axle, align the wheel hub and the

inner axle hole, then install the retaining pin fully and close

the pull ring over the wheel hub.
