Setup and Assembly

The Trazon Ergonomic Snow Shovel is designed for straightforward assembly. Follow the steps below to ensure proper setup.

1. Insert Pipe into Shovel: Carefully insert the lower pipe section into the shovel blade. Ensure the square hole on the pipe aligns with the corresponding square opening on the shovel.
2. Secure Shovel Screw: Screw the provided fastener into the designated hole to secure the shovel blade to the lower pipe. Use the included hex key to tighten.
3. Connect Pipes: Connect the middle pipe section to the lower pipe. Match the square and circular holes as indicated by the assembly markings (e.g., 'I' to 'I', 'II' to 'II').
4. Connect Handle: Attach the ergonomic handle to the top pipe section, ensuring proper alignment of the holes. Secure with the remaining fastener and tighten using the hex key.

Note: Some users have reported initial difficulty aligning the screws during assembly. Ensure all parts are correctly aligned before tightening to prevent issues.

Operating Instructions

The Trazon Ergonomic Snow Shovel is designed to make snow removal less strenuous. Utilize its unique design for optimal performance.

• Pushing Snow: For lighter snowfalls or clearing pathways, use the shovel as a pusher. Grip the ergonomic handle and the mid-point grip, then lean into the shovel, using your body weight to push snow forward. This method reduces arm and back strain.
• Lifting and Throwing Snow: For deeper or heavier snow, use the shovel to scoop and lift. The curved blade design helps contain snow, preventing it from sliding off the sides. The ergonomic handle provides improved leverage and balance, allowing for more effective maneuvering and throwing of snow.
• Breaking Ice: The durable aluminum strip on the blade allows you to cut into and break up ice or hard-packed snow before shoveling.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life of your Trazon Ergonomic Snow Shovel.

• Cleaning: After each use, remove any snow, ice, or debris from the shovel blade and handle. A damp cloth can be used for cleaning.
• Drying: Ensure the shovel is completely dry before storing to prevent rust on metal components and degradation of plastic.
• Storage: Store the shovel in a dry, protected area away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Tighten if necessary. Inspect the blade for any signs of wear or damage.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Trazon Ergonomic Snow Shovel, consider the following:

• Loose Handle/Blade: If the handle or blade feels wobbly, check all assembly screws and tighten them using the provided hex key. Ensure components are fully seated.
• Difficulty with Hard-Packed Snow/Ice: For extremely hard surfaces, use the aluminum edge to break up the material into smaller, manageable pieces before attempting to scoop or push.
• Reduced Ergonomic Benefit: Ensure you are using both the main ergonomic handle and the mid-point grip for optimal posture and weight distribution. Adjust your stance to allow your body weight to assist in pushing.

Safety Information

To ensure safe operation and prevent injury, please observe the following precautions:

• Use the shovel carefully to minimize back and muscle strain. Lift with your legs, not your back.
• Avoid heavy-duty tasks that could damage the plastic blade, such as prying large, frozen objects.
• Ensure the handle is securely assembled and tightened before each use.
• Do not leave the shovel in hot temperatures, as this may affect material integrity.
• Wear appropriate winter clothing and footwear with good traction when shoveling.
• Be aware of your surroundings and avoid shoveling near obstacles or uneven surfaces.
