Operating Tips
m
WARNING!
Foreign objects, such as rocks, broken
glass, nails, wire, or string, can be picked up and thrown by
the snow blower, causing serious personal injury. Remove all
foreign objects from the area to be plowed before operating
the snow blower.
1.
Keep the area of operation free of foreign objects that can
become thrown by the rotor blades. Perform a thorough
inspection of the area since some objects may be hidden
from view by surrounding snow. If the snow blower hits an
obstruction or picks up a foreign object during use, stop
the snow blower, remove the battery and/or disconnect
the power cord, remove the obstruction, and inspect the
unit for damage. Repair or replace any damaged part
before restarting and operating the unit.
2.
Keep children, pets, and bystanders away from the area of
operation. Be aware that the normal noise of the machine
when turned on may make it difficult for you to hear
approaching people.
3. When moving the snow
blower,
use the wheels on one
side as the pivot point. Slightly tilt the snow blower on this
pivot point to move it forward or backward.
4.
Start your clearing path outward, throwing snow in a back
and forth motion. To clear in
the opposite direction, pivot
the snow blower on its wheels. Make sure to overlap
clearing paths.
5. Note the
wind direction. If possible, move in the same
direction as the wind so that the snow is not thrown
against the wind (and thus back into your face and on the
just cleared path).
6. Do not push the snow blower
with excessive force. You
should push the machine gently and evenly in accordance
with the unit’s throw rate.
7. Do not apply additional man-made load to the motor since
this may cause motor damage.
8. Some parts of the snow blower
may freeze under extreme
temperature conditions. Do not attempt to operate the
snow blower with frozen parts. If the parts freeze while the
snow blower
is in use, stop the snow
blower
,
remove the
battery and/or disconnect the power cord, and inspect for
frozen parts. Free all parts before restarting or operating
the snow blower. Never force controls that have frozen.
9. When w
orking on pebbles, gravel, or unpaved surfaces,
avoid throwing loose surface material along with the snow
by pushing down on the handle to raise the scraper at the
base of the unit above the pebbles or gravel.
10.
To utilize the LED light for nighttime snow removal,
activate the LED light switch located on the switch bar
harness (Fig. 20).
NOTE:
After you have finished using your snow blower,
remember to turn OFF the light switch.
11.
The LED light can be adjusted by moving it up and down
as depicted (Fig. 21).
