OPERATING TIPS

DANGER: Never use a snow blower on frozen lakes, rivers, or similar surfaces. Death or serious

injury could occur if the ice breaks.

DANGER: Never use the snow blower on a rooftop or other unstable surface, which can result in

death or serious personal injury.

WARNING: Do not use snow blower on ice, which can cause the operator to slip and fall,

resulting in possibly serious personal injury.

WARNING: Do not wear loose clothing, scarves, or jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts

and cause death or serious personal injury.

WARNING: Keep all snow discharge pointed away from all electrical devices to reduce the risk

of electrocution or electric shock.

WARNING: Never point the snow blower or discharge chute in the direction of people or pets.

Thrown snow or other objects can cause serious personal injuries.

WARNING: Make sure that the area to be cleared is free of stones, sticks, wires, gravel, and other

objects that could be accidentally thrown by the snow blower in any direction and cause serious

personal injury to the operator and others.

• If the unit comes in contact with any type of obstruction or debris during use, stop the snow

blower, remove the battery pack, remove the obstruction, and inspect the unit carefully for

damage before proceeding.

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 are installed. Always ensure all moving

parts have stopped and the battery pack have been removed before clearing any obstructions. Failure

to follow these instructions can result in serious personal injury.

• Take notice of the direction of the wind before beginning. When possible, discharge snow in the

same direction as the wind to prevent snow from being thrown back into your face.

• Some parts of the snow blower can freeze under extreme weather conditions.

• Do not attempt to operate the unit with frozen parts.

• When finished, allow the motor to run for an additional few minute to prevent moving parts from

freezing, then turn the chute rotation handle back and forth several times to free it from any ice

buildup. Make sure to clean off any snow and ice from the base of the chute.

• In snowy and cold conditions, some controls and moving parts may freeze. Do not use excessive

force when trying to operate frozen controls. If you have difficulty operating any control or part,

start the machine as “STARTING/STOPING THE SNOW BLOWER” section shown (page

14&15) and let it run for a few minutes.
