Setup

Adjusting Handle Height

The handle height can be adjusted to suit your stature for maximum control and comfort. Locate the adjustment pins on the handle shafts. Pull out the pins, slide the upper handle section to the desired height, and re-insert the pins to lock it in place. Ensure both sides are adjusted evenly.

Adjusting Blade Angle

The blade angle can be adjusted to direct snow to the left or right. Locate the blade angle adjustment mechanism near the base of the blade. Slide and secure the guide rail to lock the blade into the ideal position. The blade can be adjusted up to 30 degrees in either direction.

Operating Instructions

To effectively clear snow with your 2-wheel snow pusher, follow these guidelines:

• Pushing Technique: Push the snow pusher forward in a steady motion. The wheels will assist in gliding the blade across the surface.
• Snow Depth: This snow pusher is most effective for clearing light to moderate snowfall (up to 8 inches). For very deep or heavy, wet snow, it may be necessary to clear in multiple passes or smaller sections.
• Blade Angle: Adjust the blade angle to push snow to the side of your path, preventing it from accumulating directly in front of you.
• Surface Type: Works best on solid surfaces like driveways, walkways, and sidewalks.
• Visibility: Always ensure good visibility, especially during early morning or low-light conditions, utilizing the reflective tape on the handle.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: After each use, clear any snow, ice, or debris from the blade and wheels. Wipe down metal parts to prevent rust.
• Storage: When not in use, store the snow pusher in a dry, covered area to protect it from the elements. The handle can be locked upright for compact storage in narrow spaces.
• Inspection: Periodically check all bolts, nuts, and pins to ensure they are tight. Tighten as necessary. Inspect the blade for any signs of wear or damage.

Troubleshooting

• Difficulty Pushing:
  • Check if the snow depth is too high. Try clearing in smaller sections.
  • Ensure the blade angle is set correctly to direct snow efficiently.
  • Verify wheels are free of debris and rotating smoothly.
• Blade Not Clearing Evenly:
  • Inspect the blade for any damage or uneven wear.
  • Ensure all blade attachment bolts are securely tightened.
• Loose Handle/Components:
  • Check and tighten all bolts, nuts, and pins on the handle and frame.
