Operating Tips
Start the Snow Shovel and tilt it forward until the scraper blade contacts the ground. Push
the Snow Shovel forward at a comfortable rate of speed, slow enough to clear the path
completely. The width and depth of the snow determines your forward speed.
Direct the snow to the right or to the left by holding the Snow Shovel at a slight angle.
For the most efficient snow removal, throw the snow downwind.
If you need to clear snow from crushed rock or gravel, push down on the handle to raise the
scraper clear of loose material that the rotor blades could throw.
The Snow Shovel can remove snow up to 6 in. (15 cm) deep in one pass. When clearing
deeper drifts, hold the Snow Shovel by the upper and lower handles and use a swinging or
sweeping motion. Remove a maximum of 6 inches (15 cm) with each pass and repeat as
many times as required.
Keep the cord clear of obstructions, sharp objects, and rotor. Do not pull sharply on the cord
or abuse it in any manner. Frequently inspect the cord for damage. If it is damaged, replace
the cord.
Disconnect the extension cord after using the Snow Shovel. Hang the extension cord with
the Snow Shovel so it will not be misplaced or damaged.
LUBRICATING THE SNOW SHOVEL
The Snow Shovel does not need lubrication; all bearings are lubricated at the factory for the life
of the product. SNOW BLASTER has designed this product to give you years of trouble free
use.
Preparing the Snow Shovel for Storage
Examine the Snow Shovel thoroughly for worn, loose, or damaged parts.
Examine the extension cord thoroughly for signs of excess wear or damage. If it is worn or
damaged, replace it.
Disconnect the extension cord from the Snow Shovel before storing.
Store the Snow Shovel in a clean, dry, locked-up place out of the reach of children and cover it
to provide protection.
Store the product and extension cord indoors, in a cool dry location, out of reach of children
and animals.
