motor. Thoroughly inspect the electric 

snow shovel for any damage, and repair the 

damage before restarting and operating the 

electric snow shovel.

abnormally, stop the motor and check the 

unit immediately to ascertain the cause.

electric snow shovel from the power 

supply whenever you leave the operating 

position, when transporting the unit,before 

unclogging the rotor blade housing

when using the electric snow shovel at 

night or under conditions of poor visibility.

and keep a firm hold on the handles. Walk, 

never run, with the unit.

CLEARING A CLOGGED DISCHARGE CHUTE

the rotor housing is the most common cause of 

injury associated with electric snow shovels.

housing.

from the power supply.

•   Wait 10 seconds to be sure the rotating paddle 

have come to a complete stop.

•   Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands, 

to free the rotating paddle.

for proper tightness to ensure that the 

equipment is in safe working condition.

important details, such as how to properly 

store your electric snow shovel for an 

extended period of time.

•      Maintain or replace safety and instruction 

labels as needed.

•      Run the machine a few minutes after 

throwing snow to prevent the paddle from 

freezing.
