UNDER ExTREmE TEmpERATURE
CONDITIONS
. Do not attempt to operate
the snow mover when parts are frozen. If a
part freezes while the snow mover is in use,
stop the snow mover, remove the battery and
safety key, and inspect for frozen parts. Free
all parts before restarting or operating the
snow mover.
WARNING:
Exercise extreme
caution when changing direction on
slopes. Always maintain good footing.
1. Keep the area of operation free of
foreign objects that can become thrown
by the auger blades. Some objects may
be hidden from view by snow cover.
If the snow mover hits an obstruction
or picks up a foreign object during
use, stop the snow mover, 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. Ensure children, pets, and bystanders
are kept 75 feet away from the area of
operation.
3. When moving the snow mover, use the
wheels as the pivot point. Slightly tilt the
snow mover on this pivot point to move
it forward or backward.
4. Start your clearing path in the center
of the operation area. Throw snow in
a back and forth motion, each time
moving the discharge chute to direct
snow away from the cleared area.
Ensure to overlap clearing paths.
5. If possible, discharge snow in the
same direction as the wind, not against
the wind. This prevents snow from
being blown onto the cleared areas.
mOTOR OVERlOAD
To prevent damage due to overload
conditions, do not try to remove too much
snow at one time. Do not push the snow
mover with excessive force. Slow down, allow
the snow mover to work at its own pace.
CHANGING THROW DIRECTION
AND THROW HEIGHT
WARNING:
Never direct the snow
discharge chute towards the operator,
bystanders, vehicles, or nearby
structures. The discharged snow and
foreign objects accidentally picked up
and thrown by the snow mover can cause
serious damage and personal injury.
Always orient the discharge chute in
the opposite direction from where the
operator, bystanders, surrounding
vehicles, or structures are located.
• The discharge chute has an operating
range of 180 degrees. Direct the snow
discharge by rotating the chute with
the chute rotation rod (5) as shown in
figure 16
.
WARNING:
Release the bail handle
(2), remove the safety key (3) before
making any adjustments, inspecting,
services, changing of accessories,
cleaning the snow mover, and the like.
Any operation should be performed only
after the revolving parts inside the snow
mover have come to a full stop.
The chute deflector / guard (11) on the
top of the discharge chute (10) controls
the height of the snow discharge stream.
When the deflector is up, the snow will
discharge higher. When the deflector is
down, the snow will discharge lower.
• Loosen the deflector knobs (12) to raise
or lower the deflector to the desired
height. Re-tighten the deflector knobs
(12) to secure the deflector
.
NOTE:
Do not overtighten the deflector knobs.
WARNING:
Ensure that the chute
deflector/guard fully locks onto the
discharge chute. Any gap between the
discharge chute and the chute deflector /
guard could allow foreign objects picked
up by the snow mover to be thrown in the
direction of the operator causing serious
bodily injury.
