remain behind handles until all moving parts have stopped before using the
clean-out tool to clear the chute assembly.
A chute clean-out tool is fastened to the top of the auger housing with a mounting
clip. See Figure 6. The tool is designed to clear a chute assembly of ice and snow.
This item is fastened with a cable tie at the factory for shipping purposes. You may
cut the cable tie at this time.

The snow thrower drift cutters are mounted inverted at the factory for shipping
purposes.
