OPERATION
To adjust the skid shoes:
1. Loosen the four hex nuts (Two on each side) and carriage bolts. Move skid shoes to desired
position.
2. Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid shoe is against the ground to avoid uneven
wear on the skid shoes.
3. Retighten nuts and bolts securely.
NOTICE:
All the LED lights will turn off automatically if the snow blower is not being operated within
5 minutes.
SNOW BLOWER OVERLOAD PROTECTION
To prevent overload conditions, do not try to remove too much snow at one time. Slow down your pace or
decrease the width of the snow-clearing swath. Your snow blower has built-in overload-sensing elements.
When the snow blower is overloaded, the motor will decrease the speed automatically and you will hear the
volume of the motor decrease. Slow down your pace or narrow the clearing width, after which the motor will
automatically resume its normal speed. If this remedy does not solve the overload situation, the sensor will
shut off the motor automatically and the LED indicator on the battery pack will flash orange. Set the on/off
switch to the "off" position. Remove the battery pack(s) from the snow blower and wait 10 seconds to be
sure all moving parts have stopped. Next, check to see if there is snow or ice stuck in the auger and chute.
If necessary, follow instructions for “
CLEARING A CLOGGED CHUTE
”.
CLEARING A CLOGGED CHUTE
WARNING:
Hands coming in contact with the rotating auger inside the chute is the most common
cause of injury associated with snow blowers. Never use your hand to clean out the chute.
WARNING:
Never reach into the discharge chute or place any body part in front of the snow blower
when the unit is operating or when the battery pack(s) are installed. Always ensure all moving parts
have stopped and the battery pack(s) have been removed before clearing any obstructions. Failure
to follow these instructions can result in serious personal injury.
