Operating Tips
• Start the hybrid snow shovel and tilt it forward until the
scraper blade at the base of the unit contacts the ground.
Push the shovel forward at a comfortable rate, yet slow
enough to clear the path completely. The clearing width of
the hybrid snow shovel and the depth of snowfall should
dictate your forward speed.
•
Direct the snow discharge to the right or to the left by
holding the hybrid snow shovel at a slight angle.
• To remove snow most efficiently, throw the snow
downwind and slightly overlap each swath.
• If you need to clear snow from a crushed rock or gravel
surface, push down on the handle to keep the scraper
blade clear of any loose material that the rotor blades
could throw.
• This hybrid snow shovel cuts a path 13 in. (33 cm) wide
and up to 6 in. (15 cm) deep in one pass.
• When clearing deeper drifts, hold the hybrid snow shovel
by the upper and lower handles and use a swinging or
sweeping motion. Remove up to 6 in. (15 cm) of snow with
each pass and repeat as many times as needed.
•
Remove the battery after using the hybrid snow shovel.
Hang the shovel so it will not be misplaced or damaged.
