OPERATION
USING THE CLEAN-OUT TOOL (See Fig. 13)
In certain snow conditions, the discharge chute may
become clogged with ice and snow. Use the clean-out tool
to dislodge this blockage.

certain all controls are disengaged and the
auger/impeller and all moving parts have
stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire and
keep the wire away from the spark plug to
prevent accidental starting.

• Remove the clean-out tool from its mounting clip.
Grasp the tool firmly by the handle while pushing and
twisting the tool into the discharge chute to dislodge
the blockage.
After the packed snow has been dislodged, return the
clean-out tool to it's mounting clip by pushing it into the clip.
• Make sure the discharge chute is pointed in a safe
direction (no vehicles, buildings, people, or other objects
are in the direction of discharge) before restarting engine.
• Restart the engine, then squeeze the auger control lever
to the handle to clear snow from the auger housing and
the discharge chute.
