USING THE CLEAN-OUT TOOL (See Fig. 13)
In certain snow conditions, the discharge chute may be-
come clogged with ice and snow. Use the clean-out tool
to dislodge this blockage.
Slower speeds are for heavier snow and faster speeds
are for light snow and transporting the snow thrower. It
is recommended that you use a slower speed until you
are familiar with the operation of the snow thrower.

Skid plates are located on each side of the auger housing
and adjust the clearance between the scraper bar and the
ground surface. Adjust skid plates evenly to proper height
for current surface conditions. For removal of snow in
normal conditions, such as a paved driveway or sidewalk,
place skid plates in the highest position (lowest scraper
clearance) to give a 1/8" clearance between the scraper
bar and the ground. Use a middle position if the surface
to be cleared is uneven.
•
Restart the engine, then squeeze the auger control
lever to the handle to clear snow from the auger hous-
ing and the discharge chute.
