5.4 Clearing Snow

The VOLTASK snow shovel is designed to clear snow efficiently from various surfaces.

• Clearing Path: The unit clears a path of 11.8 inches wide and up to 6 inches deep per pass. It is ideal for snow depths up to 7 inches.
• Directional Plate: Utilize the unique +/- 30° rotatable directional plate to control the snow throwing direction. This allows you to direct snow up to 19.7 feet away, optimizing your clearing path and avoiding re-clearing. Adjust the plates freely, especially considering wind direction.
• Technique: Push the snow shovel forward at a steady pace. Avoid forcing the unit through heavy snow. For deeper snow, make multiple passes, clearing the top layer first.
