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

, 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 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. 16).

 

NOTE: 

After you have finished using your snow blower, 

remember to turn OFF the light switch.
