Snow Removal:

• Push the snow shovel forward at a steady pace. The 12-inch clearing width and 5.9-inch clearing depth are ideal for light to moderate snow.
• The snow deflector can be rotated +/- 30 degrees to direct snow up to 16 feet away, preventing secondary accumulation. Adjust the deflector as needed to control the throwing direction.
• For deeper snow, make multiple passes, clearing a thinner layer each time.
• The adjustable dual-handle system allows you to customize the handle height for comfortable operation, minimizing back and wrist strain.
