After each snow removal session, run the snow
blower
for a few minutes to prevent the collector/impeller from
freezing. Shut off the motor, wait for all revolving parts to
stop
completely,
remove the batteries and wipe residual
ice and snow off the unit.
Proper Care for B Charger
m
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug
the charger and remove the battery pack from the charger
before performing any maintenance task. Never disassemble
the battery packs or charger. Contact your Snow Joe
®
+
Sun Joe
®
dealer or the Snow Joe

service center for ALL repairs.
1.
To reduce the risk of injury and damage, never immerse
your battery packs or charger in liquid or allow any liquid
to flow inside these components.
2. Clean out dust and debris from charger vents and
electrical contacts by blowing with compressed air.
3. Use only mild soap on a damp cloth to clean the battery
packs and charger, keeping away from all electrical
contacts. Certain cleaning agents and solvents are
harmful to plastics and other insulated parts. Some of
these include gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint
thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and
household detergents containing ammonia. Never use
flammable or combustible solvents around battery packs,
battery chargers or tools.
4.
The iON100V-RCH lithium-ion battery charger has no
serviceable parts.
Check Tire Pressure
m
WARNING!
Under any circumstance do not exceed
manufacturer’s recommended PSI. Equal tire pressure
should be maintained at all times for performance purposes.
Excessive pressure may cause tire/rim assembly to burst with
force sufficient to cause serious injury. Refer to sidewall of tire
for recommended pressure.
The tires are over-inflated for shipping purposes. Check the
tire pressure before operating the snow blower
and deflate (or
inflate) the tires as necessary.
m
CAUTION!
Avoid injury. Explosive separation of tire and
rim parts is possible when they are serviced incorrectly:
• Do not attempt to mount a tire without proper equipment
and experience to perform the job.
• Do not inflate the tires above the recommended pressure.
•
Do not weld or heat a wheel and tire assembly. Heat can
cause an increase in air pressure resulting in an explosion.
Welding can structurally weaken or deform the wheel.
•
Do not stand in front or over the tire assembly when
inflating. Use a clip-on chuck and extension hose long
enough to allow you to stand to one side.
Replacing Skid Shoes
The skid shoes on the bottom of the snow blower are subject
to wear. They should be checked periodically and replaced
when necessary.
To replace skid shoes:
1.
Position unit on a hard, flat, smooth level surface.
2.
Using the 13 mm open end wrench, remove the 4 hex
nuts (2 on each side), washers and bolts which secure the
skid shoes to the snow blower (Fig. 28).
3. Install the new skid shoes by tightening
the 4
sets of
hex
nuts, washers and bolts
on both sides
, but leave the skid
shoes free
to move for height adjustment.
4. Slide skid shoes
to flat surface. Allow 1/8 in. (3 mm)
between scraper blade and hard smooth surface. Allow
1-1/4 in. (30 mm) between scraper blade and uneven or
gravel surfaces.
NOTE:
Keep housing level by adjusting skid shoes equally.
5. Retighten
the 4 sets of hex nuts and bolts on both sides.
