from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery
terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
•
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the
battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.

OPERATION
•
Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts.
Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.
•
Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing
gravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay alert for hidden
hazards or traffic.
•
After striking a foreign object, turn the machine off and
remove the battery pack, and then inspect it for damage.
Repair any damage before restarting and using the
machine.
•
If the appliance should start to vibrate abnormally, stop
the machine and check immediately for the cause.
Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
•
Stop the machine whenever you leave the operating
position, before unclogging the collector/impeller housing
or discharge guide, and when making any repairs,
adjustments, or inspections.
•
When cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain the
collector/impeller and all moving parts have stopped.
•
Exercise extreme caution when operating on slopes.
•
Never operate the appliance without proper guards, keep
other safety protective devices in place and working.
•
Never direct the discharge toward people or areas where
property damage can occur. Keep children and others
away.
•
Don’t Overreach – Keep proper footing and balance at all
times.
•
Do not overload the machine capacity by attempting to
clear snow at too fast a rate.
•
Don’t Force appliance – It will perform better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.
•
Never operate the appliance at high transport speeds on
slippery surfaces. Use care when reversing.
•
Never direct discharge at bystanders or allow anyone in
front of the appliance.
•
Disengage power to the collector/impeller when the
appliance is transported or not in use.
•
Use only attachments and accessories approved by the
manufacturer of the appliance (such as wheel weights,
counterweights, or cabs).
•
Never operate the appliance without good visibility or
light. Always be sure of your footing, and keep a firm
hold on the handles.
•
Walk, never run.
•
Clearing a Clogged Discharge Chute.
•
Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside the
discharge chute is the most common cause of injury
associated with appliances. Never use your hand to clean
out the discharge chute. To clear the chute:
1. SHUT THE ENGINE
(
Motor
)
OFF!
2. Wait 10 seconds to be sure the impeller blades have
stopped rotating.
3. Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands.
•
If the appliance strikes a foreign object follow these
steps:
1. Stop the appliance. Release the switch.
2. Remove the battery pack.
3. Inspect for damage.
4. Repair any damage before restarting and operating
the appliance.

MAINTENANCE
•
Check shear bolts; engine-mounted bolt, etc., at frequent
intervals for proper tightness to be sure the appliance is in
safe working condition.
•
Always refer to owner’s guide instructions for important
details if the appliance is to be stored for an extended
period.
•
Store Idle appliances Indoors – When not in use, the
appliances should be stored indoors in a dry, locked-up
place – out of reach of children.
•
Check shear bolts and other bolts at frequent intervals for
proper tightness to be sure the equipment is in safe
working condition.
•
Run the appliance a few minutes after throwing snow to
prevent freeze-up of the collector/impeller.
•
Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged or
modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting in fire
,
explosion or
risk of injury.
•
Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or
excessive temperature space. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 265°F (130°C) may cause explosion.
•
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
battery pack or appliance outside of the temperature range
specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside of the specified range may damage
the battery and increase the risk of fire.
•
Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
•
Use appliances only with specifically designated battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
•
Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure
that the safety of the product is maintained.
•
Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the
battery pack (as applicable) except as indicated in the
instructions for use and care.
