Operating Instructions

Ensure the battery is fully charged before operation.

1. Starting the Snow Blower: Press and hold the safety button, then pull the main trigger lever towards the handle to engage the auger.
2. Adjusting Chute Direction: Use the chute control lever on the handle to rotate the discharge chute up to 180 degrees, directing the snow away from cleared areas.
3. Adjusting Chute Deflector: The deflector on the chute can be adjusted to control the height and distance of the snow throw.
4. Clearing Snow: Push the snow blower forward at a steady pace. For optimal performance, especially in deeper snow, clear in narrower passes rather than attempting to clear the full 21-inch width at once. This model is designed for light to medium snow conditions (up to 6 inches).
5. LED Headlights: Activate the dual LED headlights for improved visibility during low-light conditions.
6. Stopping the Snow Blower: Release the trigger lever to stop the auger.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your snow blower.

• Battery Charging: Charge the 80V 6.0Ah battery using the provided charger. A single charge can clear up to 16 parking spaces in 5 inches of snow (approximately 30 minutes). An additional battery can extend operating time.
• Cleaning: After each use, remove any snow, ice, or debris from the auger housing, chute, and exterior surfaces. Do not use water directly on electrical components.
• Storage: Store the snow blower in a dry, protected area. Remove the battery before long-term storage. The quick-folded handle allows for compact storage.
• Auger Inspection: Periodically inspect the rubber auger for wear or damage. Replace if necessary to maintain effective snow clearing.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Snow Blower Not Starting:
  • Ensure the battery is fully charged and properly inserted.
  • Verify the safety button is pressed before pulling the trigger lever.
  • Check for any obstructions in the auger or chute.
• Reduced Snow Throwing Distance/Clogging:
  • Clear snow in narrower passes to avoid overloading the unit.
  • Ensure the chute and deflector are free of snow and ice buildup.
  • This model performs best with light, fluffy snow. Heavy, wet snow may reduce throwing distance.
• Battery Not Charging:
  • Ensure the charger is properly plugged into a working outlet.
  • Verify the battery is correctly seated in the charger.
