Setup and Assembly

Your Gisam Snow Plow Snow Sweeper may require minor assembly. Refer to the included accessories and diagrams for guidance.

1. Handle Assembly: Attach the auxiliary handle to the main shaft. Ensure it is securely fastened.
2. Telescopic Rod Adjustment: Loosen the telescopic tube lock buckle, adjust the aluminum tube to your desired operating length (105-125cm), and then securely tighten the lock buckle.
3. Wheel Attachment: Attach the wheels to the snow shovel module as shown in the diagram.
4. Battery Installation: Align the battery pack with the battery slot on the tool's handle and slide it in until it clicks into place. Ensure it is firmly seated.

Battery Charging:

Before first use, fully charge the battery pack. If the battery pack has not been used for a prolonged time, it may require a longer initial charge (approx. 24 hours) to reach full capacity.

1. Plug the charger into an AC outlet.
2. Insert the battery pack firmly into the charger.
3. The charging lamp will light up during charging. An internal electronic switch prevents overcharging once complete.
4. If the battery pack is warm (e.g., after heavy use), charging will not occur immediately. The standby lamp will light up until the battery cools down, then charging will begin automatically.
5. When charging is completed, the charging lamp will start flashing quickly.
6. If the battery pack has not been used for a long time, the charging lamp may flash slowly, indicating protective charging, which takes longer.

Operation

Starting and Stopping:

1. To start the tool, pull the trigger.
2. To vary the driving speed, simply increase or decrease pressure on the trigger. The further the trigger is pulled, the greater the speed.
3. To stop the tool, release the trigger. The electric brake will stop the tool instantly.

Snow Clearing:

• Ensure the work area is clear of foreign objects that could be thrown by the snow sweeper.
• Hold the snow sweeper firmly with both hands.
• Push the snow sweeper forward at a steady pace. The rotating auger will collect and throw the snow.
• Adjust the snow discharge angle using the adjustable plate to direct snow away from desired areas (refer to Figure 4).

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your snow sweeper.

• Cleaning: After each use, remove any snow, ice, or debris from the auger, housing, and discharge chute. Do not block the air inlet or discharge port. Use a clean cloth to wipe down the tool. Do not use abrasive or solvent-based cleaning agents.
• Storage: Store the snow sweeper indoors in a dry, secure place, out of reach of children. Remove the battery pack before storage. The foldable design allows for compact storage (66cm / 26 inches).
• Battery Care: Store battery packs in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Do not immerse the battery or charger in any liquid.

Troubleshooting

General Issues:

• Machine vibrates abnormally: If the machine vibrates unusually after colliding with foreign objects, immediately shut it down, remove the battery, and inspect for damage.
• Blockage: If the snow discharge is blocked, shut down the machine and remove the battery pack before attempting to clear the blockage.

• Before clearing snow, it is recommended to use a rake or broom to loosen and disperse any heavily compacted debris.
• When using the snow sweeper in dusty environments (e.g., clearing light, dry snow that can create dust), consider slightly moistening the surface with a commercial mist eliminator to reduce airborne particles.
