To safely clear a clogged discharge chute, follow these
instructions:
1. Stop the engine and remove the key.
2. Ensure that the impeller has stopped rotating.
3. Use a clean-out tool (A, Figure 9) to remove snow from the
discharge chute. Never clear a clogged discharge chute
with your hands!

Using the Headlight
Some models are equipped with a headlight (L, Figure 5) to
help illuminate the area in front of the snowthrower. The
headlight is on whenever the engine is running. There is no
switch.
