Engage the auger to remove any remaining snow

Remove an obstruction from the discharge
chute; refer to Unclogging the Discharge
Chute. If necessary, use the clean-out tool,
not your hands, to remove an obstruction
from the discharge chute.
Pull the recoil starter with a rapid, continuous,
full-arm stroke 3 or 4 times. This helps prevent the
recoil starter from freezing up.
7.
Wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position.
Stay behind the handles and away from
the discharge opening while operating the
snowthrower.
Unclogging the Discharge
Chute
• Keep face, hands, feet, and any other part of
your body or clothing away from concealed,
moving, or rotating parts.
If the auger/impeller is running but there is no snow
coming out of the discharge chute, the discharge chute
may be clogged.
If the discharge chute becomes clogged, stop the
engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and use
the clean-out tool— never use your hand.
The rotor blades can throw stones, toys, and
other foreign objects and cause serious personal
injury to the operator or to bystanders.
Preventing Freeze-up
•
Keep the area to be cleared free of all objects
that the rotor blades could pick up and
throw.
•
In snowy and cold conditions, some controls and
moving parts may freeze. Do not use excessive
force when trying to operate frozen controls. If
you have difficulty operating any control or part,
start the engine and let it run for a few minutes.
• Keep all children and pets away from the
area of operation.
•
•
•
Always set the throttle lever to the Fast position
when throwing snow.
•
After using the snowthrower, let the engine run for a
few minutes to prevent moving parts from freezing.
Engage the auger/impeller to clear any remaining
snow from inside the housing. Rotate the discharge
chute control to prevent it from freezing. Stop the
engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and remove
all ice and snow from the snowthrower.
If the engine slows down under a load or the wheels
slip, shift the snowthrower into a lower gear.
If the front of the snowthrower rides up, shift the
snowthrower into a lower gear. If the front continues
to ride up, lift up on the handles.
•
With the engine off, pull the recoil starter handle
several times to prevent the recoil starter from
freezing up.
