Chute Clean-Out Tool

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:

Release both the Auger Control and the Drive Control.

Stop the engine by removing the ignition key.

Remove the clean-out tool from the clip which secures it to the rear of the auger housing.

Use the shovel-shaped end of the clean-out tool to dislodge and scoop any snow and ice which has formed in and near the chute assembly.

WARNING: Never use your hands to clean snow and ice from the chute assembly or auger housing

Refasten the clean-out tool to the mounting clip on the rear of the auger housing, reinsert the ignition key and start the snow thrower’s engine.

While standing in the operator’s position (behind the snow thrower), engage the auger control for a few seconds to clear any remaining snow and ice from the chute assembly.

Drift Cutters (on models so equipped)

Drift cutters should be used when operating the snow thrower in heavy drift conditions.

On models so equipped, drift cutters are assembled to the auger housing inverted. Remove the carriage bolts by unthreading the hex nuts which secure them, and reinstall the drift cutters in their proper position before operating the snow thrower. See Figure 12 .

If your unit is not equipped with drift cutters, contact Customer Support as instructed on page 2 for information regarding price and availability.

Operating Tips

NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes. The engine will not develop full power until it reaches operating temperature.

WARNING: The temperature of the muffler and the surrounding areas may exceed 150°F(65° C). Avoid these areas.

If possible, remove snow immediately after it falls.

Discharge snow downwind whenever possible.

Slightly overlap each previous path.

Set the skid shoes 1/4" below the shave plate for normal usage. Adjust it upward for hard-packed snow and downward when using on gravel or crushed rock.

Avoid possible starter freeze-up. Clean the snow thrower thoroughly after each use.
