WARNING! 

Never direct the snow discharge chute at 

the operator, at bystanders, at vehicles, or at nearby windows. 

The discharged snow and foreign objects accidentally picked 

up and thrown by the snow blower can cause serious damage 

and personal injury.

Always orient the discharge chute in the opposite direction 

from where the operator, bystanders, surrounding vehicles, or 

windows are located.

1.  The discharge chute can be controlled 180 degrees by 

rotating the chute with the remote switch (Fig. 22).

2. 

The chute deflector on the top of the discharge chute 

controls the height of the snow stream. Loosen the knobs 

to raise or

 lower the deflector to the desired height of 

snow you wish to throw. Tighten the knobs to secure the 

deflector (Fig. 

23).

m

WARNING! 

Make sure that the chute deflector locks 

completely onto the discharge chute. An opening between 

the back of the discharge chute and the chute deflector may 

allow foreign objects to be picked up by the snow blower and 

thrown in the direction of the operator causing serious bodily 

injury.

•  Do not advance the chute deflector too far forward as this 

can cause an opening to appear behind the deflector and 

discharge chute.

•  Do not overtighten the knobs on the chute deflector 

 

(Fig. 23).

WARNING! 

Make sure to turn off the switch, remove 

the battery, and disconnect the power cord before performing 

any maintenance task on your snow blower.

Lifetime Lubrication (Motor + Auger)

Lubrication is not necessary and may damage the unit. The 

snow blower is lubricated for lifetime use at the factory before 

shipment.

General Maintenance Tips

1.  Do not attempt to repair the machine unless you have the 

proper tools and instructions for disassembly and repair of 

the machine.

2.  Check bolts and screws at frequent intervals for proper 

tightness to ensure that the equipment is in safe working 

condition.

3. 

After each snow removal session, run the snow blower for 

a few minutes to prevent the auger/impeller from freezing. 

Shut off the motor, wait for all revolving parts to stop 

completely, and wipe residual ice and snow off the unit. 

Rotate the chute deflector by the remote switch several 

times to remove any excess snow.

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 pack or charger. Contact your Snow Joe

1. 

To reduce the risk of injury and damage, never immerse 

your battery pack 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 

pack 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.
