Training
• Read, understand, and follow all instructions on the
machine and in the manual before operating this unit.
Thoroughly familiarize yourself with the controls and the
proper use of the equipment. Know how to stop the unit
and disengage the controls quickly.
• Children should never be allowed access to the equipment.
Adults should never operate the equipment without
carefully reading and understanding these instructions.
• Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, particularly
small children and pets.
• Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling.
Preparation
• Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be
used and remove all doormats, sleds, boards, wires,
and other foreign objects.
• Do not operate the equipment without wearing adequate
winter garments. Avoid loose fitting articles of clothing that
can become caught in moving parts. Wear footwear that will
improve footing on slippery surfaces.
• Do not attempt to clear snow from a gravel or crushed
rock surface. This product is intended for use only on
paved surfaces.
• Never attempt to make any adjustments while the motor
is running (except when specifically recommended by the
manufacturer).
• Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during operation
or while performing an adjustment or repair to protect your
eyes from foreign objects that may be thrown from the
machine.
Operation
• Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts.
Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.
• Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing
gravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay alert for hidden hazards
or traffic.
• After striking a foreign object, stop the motor. Thoroughly
inspect the hybrid snow shovel for any damage, and repair
the damage before restarting and operating the hybrid
snow shovel.
• If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the motor
and check the unit immediately to ascertain the cause.
Vibration is generally a sign of trouble.
• Stop the motor, remove the battery or disconnect the power
cord whenever you leave the operating position, when
transporting the unit, before unclogging the rotor blade
housing, and when making any repairs, adjustments, or
inspections to the unit.
• When cleaning, repairing, or inspecting the hybrid snow
shovel, make sure that all moving parts have come to a
complete stop before beginning work.
• Exercise extreme caution when operating on slopes.
• Never operate the hybrid snow shovel without proper
guards and other safety devices in place and in proper
working order.
• Never direct the discharge toward people or areas where
property damage can occur. Keep children, pets, and other
bystanders away from the work area.
• Do not overload the machine capacity by attempting to
clear snow at too fast a rate.
• Look behind and use care when backing up with the
hybrid snow shovel.
• Never operate the hybrid snow shovel without good
visibility or light. Always be sure of your footing, and keep
a firm hold on the handles. Walk, never run, with the unit.
Clearing a Clogged Rotor Housing
Hand contact with the rotating rotor blades inside the rotor
housing is the most common cause of injury associated
with hybrid snow shovels. Never use your hands to clear a
clogged rotor housing.
To clear the rotor housing:
• Shut the motor off, remove the battery or disconnect the
power cord.
• Wait 10 seconds to be sure the rotor blades have come to a
complete stop.
• Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands, to free the
rotating blades.
Maintenance and Storage
• Check all fasteners at frequent intervals for proper tightness
to ensure that the equipment is in safe working condition.
• Always refer to the operator's manual for important details,
such as how to properly store your hybrid 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 rotor blades from freezing.
Double-Insulated Appliances
In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation
are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means is
provided on a double-insulated appliance, nor should a means
for grounding be added to the appliance. Servicing a
double-insulated appliance requires extreme care and
knowledge of the system, and should be performed only by
qualified service personnel at an authorized Snow Joe

dealer. Replacement parts for a double-insulated
appliance must be identical to the parts they replace.
A double-insulated appliance is marked with the words
“Double Insulation” or “Double Insulated.” The symbol
(square within a square) may also be marked on the appliance.
DOUBLE-INSULATED: GROUNDING NOT
REQUIRED. WHEN SERVICING, USE ONLY
IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.
