Clean-Out Tool
The clean-out tool is conveniently fastened to the rear
of the auger housing with a mounting clip (Refer to
Figure 8 ). If the chute assembly becomes clogged
during operation, proceed as follows to safely clean the
chute and chute opening:

Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes. The
engine will not develop full power until it reaches
operating temperature.
For the most efficient snow removal, remove snow
immediately after it falls.
Discharge the snow downwind whenever possible.
Slightly overlap each previous path.
Set the skid shoes 1/4" below the shave plate for
normal usage. The skid shoes may be adjusted
upward (to lower the shave plate) for hard-packed
snow. Adjust downward (to raise the shave plate)
when using on gravel or crushed rock.

1. Release both the Auger Control and the Drive/
Auger Control Lock.
2. Stop the engine by moving the throttle to the stop
position.
