USING THE CLEAN-OUT TOOL (See Fig. 15)
In certain snow conditions, the discharge chute may be-

dislodge this blockage.

vent accidental starting.

the tool firmly by the handle and push and twist 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 direc-
tion (no vehicles, buildings, people, or other objects are
in the direction of discharge) before restarting the engine.
• Restart the engine, then squeeze the auger control
lever to the handle to clear snow from the auger hous-
ing and the discharge chute.
