Clearing a Clogged Discharge Chute
m
WARNING!
Rotating blades can cause serious injury.
Never attempt to unclog or clean unit while auger is running.
Hand contact with the rotating impeller/auger inside the
discharge chute is the most common cause of injury
associated with snow blowers. Never use your hand to clean
out the discharge chute.
To clean the chute:
1. SHUT THE MOTOR OFF AND REMOVE THE
BATTERY PACKS.
2. Wait 10 seconds to be sure the auger blades have
stopped completely.
3. Use the equipped chute clean-out tool to clear the
blockage.
Maintenance and Storage
1. Check shear bolts and other bolts at frequent intervals
for proper tightness to be sure the equipment is in safe
working condition.
2. Always refer to the operator's manual for important details
if the snow blower is to be stored for an extended period.
3. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels,
as necessary.
4. Run the machine a few minutes after plowing snow to
prevent freeze-up of the auger/impeller.
Battery + Charger
Safety Instructions
NOTE: This unit is tool only. The batteries and the charger are
not included. They must be purchased separately.
Model iON100V-24SB-CT is compatible with the iONPRO100V
batteries (iON100V-5AMP or greater) and charger (iON100V-
RCH). See page 22 for more information.
We pay a great deal of attention to the design of every battery
pack to ensure that we supply you with batteries that are safe,
durable and have a high energy density. The battery cells have
a wide range of safety devices. Each individual cell is initially
formatted and its electrical characteristic curves are recorded.
This data is then used exclusively to be able to assemble the
best possible battery packs.
Despite all the safety precautions, caution must always be
exercised when handling batteries. The following points must
be obeyed at all times to ensure safe use. Safe use can only
be guaranteed if undamaged cells are used. Incorrect handling
of the battery packs can cause cell damage.
IMPORTANT! Analyses confirm that incorrect use and poor
care of high-performance batteries are the main factors
responsible for personal and/or product damage.
m
WARNING!
Use only approved replacement
batteries; other batteries may damage the cordless snow
blower and cause it to malfunction, which can lead to serious
personal injury.
m
CAUTION!
To reduce the risk of injury, charge
the iON100V-5AMP lithium-ion battery packs only in the
designated lithium-ion charger, the iON100V-RCH. Other types
of chargers present risk of fire, personal injury and damage. Do
not wire a battery pack to a power supply plug or car cigarette
lighter. Such misuse will permanently disable or damage the
battery pack.
• Avoid dangerous environments – Do not charge the
battery packs in rain, snow or in damp or wet locations.
Do not use the battery packs or charger in the presence of
explosive atmospheres (gaseous fumes, dust or flammable
materials) because sparks may be generated when inserting
or removing the battery pack, which could lead to a fire.
• Charge in a well-ventilated area – Do not block the
charger vents. Keep them clear to allow for proper
ventilation. Do not allow smoking or open flames near a
charging battery pack. Vented gases may explode.
NOTE: The safe temperature range for the battery is 32°F
(0°C) to 104°F (40°C). Do not charge the battery outside in
freezing weather; charge it at room temperature.
• Maintain charger cord – When unplugging the charger, pull
the plug, not the cord, from the receptacle to reduce the
risk of damage to the electrical plug and cord. Never carry
the charger by its cord or yank it by the cord to disconnect
it from the receptacle. Keep the cord away from heat, oil
