SNOW BLOWER OVERLOAD PROTECTION
Your snow blower has built-in overload-sensing
elements. When the snow blower is overloaded, the
motor will decrease the speed automatically and you
will hear the volume of the motor decrease. Slow down
your pace or narrow the clearing width, then the motor
speed will automatically resume its normal setting. If
this remedy does not solve the overload situation, the
sensor will shut off the motor automatically and the LED
indicator on the snow blower will flash orange. Remove
the battery pack(s) from the snow blower, wait 10
seconds, and check to see if there is snow or ice stuck
in the auger and deck. If necessary, follow instructions
for “Clearing a Clogged Chute”. Reinstall the batteries
and restart the snow blower.
CLEARING A CLOGGED CHUTE
WARNING: Always use the chute cleaning
tool (A-8)
which is attached to the machine as an
accessory, do not use your hand.
BATTERY HIGH-TEMPERATURE PROTECTION
The battery pack will generate heat during operation.
The heat dissipates more slowly in hot weather. If the
battery temperature exceeds 70°C during operation,
the protection circuit will immediately turn off the
snow blower to protect the battery pack from heat
damage. The status indicator on the snow blower will
off, about the LED on the battery, please see ‘BATTERY
PROTECTION’ section in battery operator’s manual for
details. Release the bail switch, wait until the battery
pack cools down to approximately 67°C, then restart
the snow blower.
OPERATING TIPS
DANGER:
Never use a snow blower on frozen
lakes, rivers, or similar surfaces. Death or serious injury
could occur if the ice breaks.
DANGER:
Never use the snow blower on a rooftop
or other unstable surface, which can result in death or
serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Do not use snow blower on ice, which
can cause the operator to slip and fall, resulting in
possibly serious personal injury.
WARNING
: Do not wear loose clothing, scarves, or
jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts and cause
death or serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Keep all snow discharge pointed
away from all electrical devices to reduce the risk of
electrocution or electric shock.
WARNING: Never point the snow blower or
discharge chute in the direction of people or pets.
Thrown snow or other objects can cause serious
personal injuries.
WARNING:
Make sure that the area to be cleared
is free of stones, sticks, wires, gravel, and other objects
that could be accidentally thrown by the snow blower
in any direction and cause serious personal injury to the
operator and others.
◾
If the unit comes in contact with any type of
obstruction or debris during use, stop the snow blower,
remove the battery pack(s), remove the obstruction,
and inspect the unit carefully for damage before
proceeding.
WARNING:
Never reach into the discharge chute
or place any body part in front of the snow blower
when the unit is operating or when the battery pack(s)
are installed. Always ensure all moving parts have
stopped and the battery pack(s) have been removed
before clearing any obstructions. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in serious personal injury.
◾
Take notice of the direction of the wind before
beginning. When possible, discharge snow in the same
direction as the wind to prevent snow from being
thrown back into your face.
◾
Some parts of the snow blower can freeze under
extreme weather conditions. Do not attempt to operate
the unit with frozen parts.
◾
When finished, allow the motor to run for an additional
few minutes to prevent moving parts from freezing,
then turn the chute rotation handle back and forth
several times to free it from any ice buildup. Make
sure to clean off any snow and ice from the base of
the chute.
◾
In snowy and cold conditions, some controls and
moving parts may freeze. Do not use excessive
force when trying to operate frozen controls. If you
have difficulty operating any control or part, start
the machine as
“STARTING/STOPING THE SNOW
BLOWER” section shown and let it run for a few
minutes.
