Never use your hands to clear a clogged chute assembly. Shut
off engine and remain behind handles until all moving parts have
stopped before unclogging.
The chute clean-out tool is conveniently fastened to the rear of the
auger housing with a mounting clip. Should snow and ice become
lodged in the chute assembly during operation, proceed as follows to
safely clean the chute assembly and chute opening:
•
Always fill the fuel tank outdoors and use a funnel or spout to
prevent spilling.
•
Fill fuel tank with clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline with a minimum
of 85 octane. Fresh fuel prevents gum from forming in the fuel
system or on essential carburetor parts. Purchase fuel in a
quantity that can be used within 30 days.
•
•
Never fill the fuel tank completely. Fill the tank to within 1-1/2”
from the top to provide space for expansion of fuel.
Make sure to wipe off any spilled fuel before starting the engine.
