Operator Safety
Discharge Chute Warning
DANGER
Amputation hazard
The discharge chute contains a rotating impeller to throw
snow. Fingers can quickly become caught in the impeller.
Never clear or unclog the discharge chute with your
hands. Always use a clean-out tool.
Failure to observe these safety instructions will result in
traumatic amputation or severe laceration.
Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside the discharge
chute is the most common cause of injury associated with
snowthrowers. Never use your hands to clean outthe discharge
chute.
To safely clear a clogged discharge chute, follow these
instructions:
1. Shut OFF the engine.
2. Wait 10 seconds to be sure the impeller blades have
stopped rotating.
3. Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands.
