Clearing a Clogged Discharge Chute

• Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside the discharge chute is the most common cause of injury associated with snowblowers. Never use your hand to clean out the discharge chute.
• To clear the chute:
  1. Shut the engine off.
  2. Wait ten seconds to be sure the impeller blades have stopped rotating.
  3. Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands.
