INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, AND CLEANING
1. WARNING! Make sure the Trigger of the Snow Thrower is in its “OFF” position
and that the tool is unplugged from its electrical outlet before performing any in-
spection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.
2. BEFORE EACH USE, inspect the general condition of the Snow Thrower. Check
for loose screws, misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken parts,
damaged electrical wiring, and any other condition that may affect its safe opera-
tion. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before fur-
ther use.
Do not use damaged equipment.
3. When putting this tool away after each use, be sure to remove any snow or water
which may be on it. Water and moist conditions are inherently damaging to any
electrical tool. Be sure to store this tool in dry condition in a dry place.
4. Check the Belt for damage, and to be sure it is properly aligned. If it is loose or
damaged, have it serviced or replaced by a qualified service technician.
5. Check the Rubber Blades for wear, and to be sure they are properly installed. Each
Rubber Blade is held in place with four Screws and Washers. Ensure that they are
properly installed and tight.
6. If the Rubber Blades are excessively worn, they may be replaced. To do this, first
remove and set aside the four Screws and Washers from each Rubber Blade. The
Rubber Blades may be pulled out of the slots in the Drum.
7. Install new Rubber Blades in the Drum, being sure that the shiny side of the new
Rubber Blade is up, and the coarse side is down. Tighten each Rubber Blade firmly
in place using the Screws and Washers.
12. When you have finished blowing snow, stop the machine. To do this, release your
grip on the handle, which will release the Trigger, stopping the machine. Disconnect
the extension cords, roll them up and store them for next use. Move the Snow
Thrower to a suitable storage location. Brush or wipe off any snow or moisture
before storing this tool. Remember that storing this machine wet may cause dam-
age to it.
WARNING: Snow, ice and other materials may be ejected from this Snow Thrower at
high speed. Use extreme caution in managing the direction of materials thrown by
this Snow Thrower. Never allow the ejected material to be directed at any person or
animal. Be careful to direct thrown material away from any property which may be
harmed by the force of the ejected material or its accumulation.
