OPERATING
3
Clear snow often, before it gets too deep. It is best to
remove the snow as soon as possible after it falls.
Lift the auger up slightly before starting the snow thrower.
Switch on and tilt the snow thrower forward until the
scraper blade contacts the ground. Push the snow
thrower forward at a comfortable rate of speed, yet slow
enough to clear the path completely. The width and depth
of the snow determines your forward speed.
Pull up and turn the adjust knob to direct the snow to the
right or to the left. For the most efficient snow removal
throw the snow downwind and slightly overlap each
swath.
The snow thrower can remove up to 8” deep in one pass.
When clearing deeper drifts, hold the snow thrower by
the upper and lower handles and use a swinging or
sweeping motion. Shave off the top layer and make
multiple passes. (Fig. 6).
OPERATING
8
On/Off Switch (Fig. 4)
WARNING: The auger starts rotating immediately
after the snow thrower is switched on. Keep hands
and feet away from the auger.
To switch ON, hold the snow thrower firmly with two
hands, make sure the auger is not touching any surface
and press the Safety Lock Off Button (2) while squeezing
the On/Off trigger switch (3).
Once the snow thrower is started you can release the
Safety Lock Off Button.
To switch Off simply release the trigger.
Removing snow
WARNING: Before starting work, make sure that
the area to be cleared is free of stones, debris,
wires and any other objects.
Make sure all fasteners on the snow thrower (screws,
nuts, etc.) are fully tightened.
Check the auger for wear and tear at regular intervals.
Position the snow thrower so that snow will discharge in
a safe direction away from the operator and bystanders.

OPERATING
For large areas a definite pattern of operation is required
to thoroughly clean an area of snow. These patterns
will avoid throwing snow in unwanted places as well as
eliminating a second removal of snow. (Fig. 7)
Pattern A: Throw the snow to the right or left side where
it is possible. For areas such as a long driveway it is
advantageous to start in the middle. Plow from one end
to the other, throwing snow to both sides.
Pattern B: If the snow can only be thrown to one side of
the area to be cleared, start on the opposite side.
Scraping the snow all the way down to the pavement will
wear out the scraper and auger. To protect these parts,
one or two inches of snow can be left behind and cleared
with de-icing salt or a shovel.
After clearing the snow, continue to run the snow thrower
for a few minutes to prevent ice from freezing on moving
parts. Then switch off the motor, wait for all moving parts
to stop, remove the battery pack, and wipe the ice and
snow from the snow thrower with a clean rag.
WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, do not
use hands or feet to unclog the chute.
Your lithium snow thrower is equipped with overcurrent
protection. When the current reaches a certain pre-
determined level, the unit will automatically slow down
until the current drops. When the current drops to a safe
level, the snow thrower will resume normal operation.

Regular cleaning and maintenance of your snow thrower
will ensure efficiency and prolong the life of the product.
After each use, take apart and clean out the ice and
debris from the ventilator and its slots, the auger and
the housing.
Only use a cloth soaked with hot water and a soft brush
to clean the snow thrower. Never wet or spray water on
the machine!
Do not use detergents or solvents as these could cause
irreparable damage to the snow thrower. Chemicals can
destroy the plastic parts.
To protect the snow thrower from corrosion when storing
for long periods, lightly oil the metal parts.
Store the appliance in a dry area out of reach of children.
For the user’s safety, worn or damaged parts must be
replaced. Replace with original replacement parts only.
Parts from another snow thrower may not fit properly
causing an unsafe situation.

1. Remove friction plate (16) and loosen left side cover
(8) from main body.
2. Remove the side plate (11) from the left side cover
(8).
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Before carrying out maintenance operations, remove the battery pack.
3. Move the left side cover (8) downward to loosen the
belt (6). Remove the belt (6) from the wheel and push
it down through the slot in the left side cover (8).
4. Turn the left side cover (8) counterclockwise to
expose fix plate (13). Remove M5x12 bolt, washer
(14), fix plate (13), and then remove the belt (6).
