OPERATION
ADJUSTING THE CHUTE
See Figures 8 - 11.
The chute can be adjusted to change both the direction and
the distance to assist you in moving snow away from one
area and placing it in another.
The
direction
of snow removal can be adjusted up to 180º.
Turn the chute rotation lever to the left to rotate the chute
to the left.
Turn the chute rotation lever to the right to rotate the
chute to the right.
The
distance
the snow is moved is adjusted using the chute
deflector handle.
Move the chute deflector backward (up) to increase the
distance the snow will be thrown.
WARNING:
Do not force the chute so far forward that a gap appears
between the deflector and the chute itself. Snow or other
debris could be thrown through the gap back at the
operator, resulting in serious personal injury.
Move the chute deflector forward (down) to decrease the
distance the snow will be thrown.
OPERATING TIPS
WARNING:
Never use snow blower on frozen lakes, rivers, or similar
surfaces. Death or serious injury could occur if the ice
breaks.
WARNING:
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 possible 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 electri-
cal 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 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, 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 operat-
ing or when the battery pack is installed. Always ensure
all moving parts have stopped and the battery pack has
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, then turn the chute rotation lever back and
forth several times to remove any remaining snow from
the chute.
