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 minutess 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 10)
and let it run for a few minutes.
