Operating Instructions:

The Avalanche Snow Remover may be operated in several different ways.

We recommend that you choose the operation which requires the shortest 

 

handlelength, because any weighted tool at the end of a very long handle is 

 

difficult to maneuver.

It’s usually only necessary to remove the first few feet of snow from the lower roof edge. 
This should be done as soon as possible after a snowfall to prevent ice dams. Place the 
cutter frame at the lower roof edge with the plastic slide hanging down over the roof 
edge and slowly roll the cutter frame up the roof. The plastic slide will pull behind the 
frame under the snow; the snow will break off in blocks and slide down the plastic off 
the roof and onto the ground below. If any snow remains on the plastic, it will be removed
when you roll the cutter frame back down the roof. Reposition the cutter frame 
at the lower roof edge for another pass.

1.  Unpack the Avalanche Snow Remover carton and parts.  Check for any missing 

parts. Refer to the parts list and the assembly diagrams.

receive your unit from the factory. The

REMOVE SLIDE WINDER BEFORE USE! 

Should you need to replace the slide, remove the plastic slide holder from the axle 

and wrap the plastic slide around the axle once. Then snap the slide holder over the 

plastic and axle to hold the plastic on the axle. If during operation the plastic slide 

should catch on the nails or obstructions in the roof and tear, simply cut off the plastic 

below the rip, re-wrap, around axle, snap on the slide holder and return to work.
