Unclogging the Discharge
Chute
WARNING
If the auger/impeller is running but there is no
snow coming out of the discharge chute, the
discharge chute may be clogged.
Never use your hands to clear a clogged discharge
chute. This could result in personal injury.
•
To unclog the discharge chute, stay in the operating
position and release the left hand (traction) lever. While
running the auger/impeller, push down on the handles to
raise the front of the machine a few inches (centimeters)
off the pavement. Then lift the handles quickly to bump
the front of the machine on the pavement. Repeat if
necessary until a stream of snow comes out the discharge
chute.
•
If you cannot unclog the discharge chute by bumping
the front of the machine, stop the engine, wait for all
moving parts to stop, and use the snow cleanout tool;
never use your hand.
Important: Unclogging the discharge chute by
bumping the front of the machine on the pavement
may cause the skids to move. Adjust the skids and
tighten the skid bolts securely.

Preventing Freeze-up

•
In snowy and cold conditions, some controls and moving
parts may freeze. Do not use excessive force when
trying to operate frozen controls. If you have difficulty
operating any control or part, start the engine and let it
run for a few minutes.
•
After using the machine, let the engine run for a few
minutes to prevent moving parts from freezing. Engage
the auger/impeller to clear any remaining snow from
inside the housing. Rotate the Quick Stick to prevent it
from freezing. Stop the engine, wait for all moving parts
to stop, and remove all ice and snow from the machine.
•
With the engine off, pull the recoil starter handle several
times and push the electric-starter button once to prevent
the recoil and electric starters from freezing up.
