Cleaning and Storage:

- Store the shovel in a dry, sheltered area when not in use.
- For compact storage, the handle can be easily demounted by releasing the push-buttons.
Blade Care:
The shovel features an exchangeable bottom strip. If one side of the strip becomes worn, it can be flipped over and remounted for extended use.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your snow shovel, consider the following common solutions:
- Difficulty Pushing: Ensure the blade angle is appropriate for the snow depth and type. For very deep or wet snow, multiple passes may be required. Check that the wheels are not obstructed by debris or excessive snow buildup.
- Loose Components: Periodically check all bolts, nuts, and pins to ensure they are securely tightened. Tighten any loose fasteners to maintain stability and performance.
- Uneven Clearing: Verify that the blade is properly aligned and not bent. Adjust the blade angle if necessary to achieve an even clear.
