Use and Care Manual

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

clothing that can get caught in moving parts. Wear footwear that will improve footing on slippery

surfaces.

• Never attempt to make any adjustments while the motor is running (except when specifically

recommended by manufacturer).

• Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during operation or while performing an adjustment or

repair to protect eyes from foreign objects that may be thrown from the machine.

OPERATION

• Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Always keep clear of the discharger

opening.

• 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, remove the battery pack, thoroughly inspect the

snow blower for any damage, and repair the damage before restarting and operating the snow

blower.

• If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the motor, and check immediately for the

cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.

• Stop the motor whenever you leave the operating position, before unclogging the auger assembly

housing or discharge chute, and when making any repairs, adjustments, or inspections.

• When clearing, repairing, or inspecting the snow blower, stop the motor and make certain the

auger assembly and all moving parts have stopped. Remove the battery pack to prevent someone

from accidentally starting the motor.

• Exercise extreme caution when operating on slopes.

• Never operate the snow blower without proper guards and other safety protective devices in place

and working.

• Never direct the discharge toward people or areas where property damage can occur. Keep

children and others away.

• Do not overload the machine capacity by attempting to clear snow at too fast a rate.

• Disengage power to the auger assembly when snow blower is transported or not in use.

• Use only attachments and accessories approved by the manufacturer of the snow blower (such as

rubber paddles, scraper bar and drive belt).

• Never operate the snow blower without good visibility or light. Always be sure of your footing,

and keep a firm hold on the handles. Walk; never run.

• Use only with the battery pack and chargers listed below:
