• Store safely – Store the snow blower indoors in a dry area between uses. Keep
in a locked area, where children and unauthorized users cannot gain access.
Never store the snow blower with the battery pack installed. It may cause damage
and injury.
• Maintain for safety and longevity – Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other conditions that may affect the unit’s
operation. If damaged, repair or replace the damaged part before use. Use only
those replacement parts made for your model. When replacing any parts, you
must strictly observe the instructions and procedures described in this manual.
Special care should be paid to any rubber parts, since these parts may increase
the motor load and decrease its mechanical power if damaged.
• Rotating parts – Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear
of the discharge opening at all times.
• Hidden hazards – Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing gravel
drives, walks or roads. Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic.
• Exercise extreme caution when operating on slopes. Never operate the machine
at high transport speeds on slippery surfaces. Look behind and use care when
operating in reverse.
• Never operate the snow thrower without good visibility or light. Always be sure
of your footing, and keep a firm hold on the handles. Walk; never run.
• Do not overload the machine capacity by attempting to clear snow at too
fast a rate.
• Never allow children to operate the equipment. Never allow adults to operate
the equipment without proper instruction.
• Adjust the collector housing height to clear gravel or crushed rock surface.
• Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during operation or while performing
an adjustment or repair to protect eyes from foreign objects that may be thrown
from the machine.
CLEARING A CLOGGED DISCHARGE CHUTE
Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside the discharge chute is the most
common cause of injury associated with snow throwers. Never use your hand to
clean out the discharge chute.
TO CLEAR THE CHUTE:
i) SHUT THE MOTOR OFF! ii) Wait 10 seconds to be
sure the impeller blades have stopped rotating. iii) Always use a clean-out tool,
not your hands.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Avoid accidental starting – Make sure the safety switch and the ON/OFF trigger
is in the OFF position before inserting the battery pack into the unit. Do not carry
the snow blower with the safety switch and ON/OFF trigger engaged.
