5. Operation Guide

The Garvee Snow Pusher is designed for ease of use. Follow these guidelines for optimal performance.

Adjusting Handle Height:

The handle can be adjusted to 5 different heights (15 to 44 inches) to suit your comfort and reduce strain. Loosen the double-ended bolts on the handle, slide the handle to your desired height, and re-tighten the bolts securely.

Adjusting Blade Angle:

The blade can be adjusted 45 degrees to either the left or right. To change the angle, remove the pin securing the blade, pivot the blade to the desired angle, and re-insert the pin to lock it in place. This allows for multi-directional snow clearing.

Clearing Snow:

Push the snow pusher forward, allowing the angled blade to direct snow to the side. For deeper snow, take smaller passes. The large rubber wheels facilitate smooth movement over various surfaces.

6. Maintenance and Care

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your Garvee Snow Pusher.

• Cleaning: After each use, clear any remaining snow, ice, or debris from the blade and wheels. Wipe down metal parts to prevent rust.
• Storage: When not in use, lock the handle in an upright position for compact storage. Store the snow pusher in a dry, covered area such as a garage or shed to protect it from the elements.
• Inspection: Periodically check all bolts, pins, and connections to ensure they are tight and secure. Replace any worn or damaged parts immediately.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Garvee Snow Pusher, consider the following:

• Wobbly Handle: Ensure all bolts securing the handle sections are fully tightened. If the handle still feels wobbly, disassemble and reassemble, ensuring proper alignment of all parts.
• Wheels Not Rolling Smoothly: Check for debris or ice buildup around the wheel axles. Ensure the pins securing the wheels are correctly inserted and not bent.
• Difficulty Pushing Heavy Snow: Adjust the handle height to a position that provides better leverage. For very deep or heavy snow, clear smaller sections at a time.
• Blade Not Holding Angle: Verify the pin for blade angle adjustment is fully inserted and secured.
