7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Snow Joe SJBLZD, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pole sections do not lock securely. | Buttons are not fully engaged in the holes. | Ensure pole sections are aligned correctly and push firmly until buttons snap into place. Check for debris obstructing the buttons. |
| Snow is not clearing effectively. | Insufficient pressure or incorrect angle. | Apply more consistent pressure and adjust the angle of the foam head to maximize contact with the snow. |
| Ice scraper is not effective. | Ice is too thick or scraper is dull. | For very thick ice, consider using a de-icer spray first. Ensure the scraper edge is clean and free of debris. |
