Clearing a Clogged Discharge Chute
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 useyour 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.
A clean-out tool (A, Figure 10) is provided with the unit.

Skid Shoe Height Adjustment
DANGER
Amputation hazard
The discharge chute contains a rotating impeller to throw snow.
Fingers can quickly become caught and traumatic amputation
or severe laceration will result. Hand contact with the rotating
impeller inside the discharge chuteis the most common cause
of injury associated with snowthrowers.
Turn the engine OFF, wait for all moving parts to stop, and
remove the engine key before performing any maintenance or
repairs.
WARNING
Thrown objects hazard
Objects such as gravel, rocks, or other debris, if struck by the
impeller, may be thrown with sufficient force to cause personal
injury, property damage, or damage to the snowthrower.
Be sure to set the skid shoes at the proper height to maintain
ground clearance for the type of surface being cleared.
This snowthrower is equipped with two height adjust skids,
secured to the outside of the auger housing. These elevate the
front of the snowthrower.
When removing snow from a hard surface area such as a paved
driveway or walk, adjust the skids up to bring the front of the
snowthrower down.
When removing snow from rock or uneven construction, raise
the front of the snowthrower by moving the skids down. This will
help to prevent rocks and other debris from being picked up and
thrown by the augers.
1. Determine how much clearance you want between the
scraper bar at the bottom of the auger housing and the
ground. If clearing a gravel surface, enough ground
clearance is needed toprevent the unit from picking up rocks.
2. Place a block equal to the desired ground clearance under
the scraper bar.
3. Loosenthe skid shoe mountingnuts (A, Figure 11)and push
the skid shoe (B) down until it touchesthe ground. Re-tighten
mounting nuts.

4. Set the skid shoe on the other side at the same height.
