Clearing a Clogged Broom
WARNING
The rotating broom could cause serious
injury.
Shut off the engine and allow all rotating parts
to stop before cleaning the broom.
•
If the broom becomes clogged, stay in the
operating position and release the traction-drive
lever. While engaging the broom, push down on
the handles to raise the front of the machine a
few centimeters (inches) off the pavement. Then
lift the handles quickly to bump the front of the
machine on the pavement. Repeat if necessary.
•
If you cannot unclog the broom by bumping the
front of the machine, do the following:
– Park the machine on level ground. shut off the
engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and
disconnect the spark-plug wire.
– Sharp objects can become entangled in
bristles. Use gloves and caution when
removing foreign objects from the broom; do
not use your hands.

tank inside a building where ignition sources are
present, such as hot water heaters, space heaters,
or clothes dryers. Allow the engine to cool before
storing the machine in any enclosure.
•
When storing the machine for more than 30
days, refer to the Storage section for important
information.
•
When operating in snowy conditions, run the
machine for a few minutes after removing snow to
prevent freeze-up of the broom and housing.

moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the
spark-plug wire and keep it away from the plug to
prevent accidental starting.
