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.
Snow is best removed as soon as possible after snow fall.
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 key and batteries
,
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.
To clear an area, run unit in an overlapping series of paths.
For large areas, start in the middle and throw snow to
each side, so snow is not cleared more than once.
4. 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).
5. Do not push the snow blower
with excessive force.
Do not
exceed the unit's intake or throw rate.
6. 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 batteries
, and inspect for frozen parts. Free all parts
before restarting or operating the snow blower. Never
force controls that have frozen.
Traveling (Fig. 25)
To travel from one work area to another:
1. Press the XPORT button to activate transport mode when
relocating the machine within the work area, or returning
to the garage or storage unit. The auger will not engage
while in XPORT mode.
2.
Squeeze left handle (DRIVE) trigger, and the snow blower
will slowly start to move.
3. Press down on handle grips enough to slightly raise
the front end of the unit off the surface. The speed will
gradually increase.
IMPORTANT! Auger will not engage while in XPORT mode.
NOTE:
LED lights will flash 5 times to warn any bystanders to
remain clear of the machine’s intended path.

General Maintenance Tips
1. Do not attempt to repair the machine unless you have the
proper tools and instructions for disassembly and repair of
the machine.
2. Check bolts and screws at frequent intervals for proper
tightness to ensure that the equipment is in safe working
condition.
3.
After each snow removal session, run the snow
blower
for a few minutes to prevent the collector/impeller from
freezing. Shut off the motor, wait for all revolving parts
to stop
completely,
remove key and batteries and wipe
residual ice and snow off the unit.
