Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your snow shovel.

• Battery Care:
  • Always store the battery and machine indoors after use, especially in cold weather, to protect the battery and prolong its life.
  • Charge batteries using the provided 10C fast charger.
• Cleaning:
  • After each use, remove any snow, ice, or debris from the auger and housing. Ensure the unit is turned off and the battery is removed before cleaning.
• Storage:
  • Store the snow shovel in a dry, protected area away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • The design allows for easy disassembly for compact storage.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Saker Cordless Electric Snow Shovel, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Shovel Stops During Operation (Indicator Light On):
  • If the indicator light is on but the shovel stops, check for obstructions in the auger. This could be buried stones, packed ice, or other debris.
  • Turn off the unit and remove the battery before attempting to clear any obstructions. Clearing the obstruction should restore normal operation.
• Reduced Snow Clearing Efficiency:
  • Snow removal efficiency may vary depending on snow density and conditions. The shovel performs best with light to moderate, powdery snow.
  • Ensure the battery is fully charged.
