7.7 CLEARING A CLOGGED DISCHARGE CHUTE
DANGER!
Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside the discharge
chute is the most common cause of injury associated with
snowthrowers. 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.
1.
Place the unit on a level surface, turn the fuel shut-off valve to CLOSED,
and remove the POWER key.
2.
Ensure that the impeller has stopped rotating.
3.
Use a clean-out tool to remove snow from the discharge chute. NEVER
clear a clogged discharge chute with your hands!
