Chute Clean-Out Tool

WARNING! Never use your hands to clear a clogged chute assembly. Shut off engine and remain behind handles until all moving parts have stopped before unclogging.

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:

1.Release both the Auger Control and the Drive Control.

2.Stop the engine as instructed in the engine operator’s manual included with the snow thrower.

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

4.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.

5.Refasten the clean-out tool to the mounting clip on the rear of the auger housing, and start the engine as instructed in the engine operator’s manual.

6.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.
