LED LIGHTS
The snow blower is equipped with 2 LED lights that is used to illuminate the dark area. The LED lights will automatically turn on when the snow blower is switched on, and will automatically turn off when the snow blower is turned off. (Fig. 21)

OPERATING TIPS
a. Keep the area of operation free of foreign objects that can be thrown by the snow thrower. Perform a thorough inspection of the area, as some objects may be hidden from view or buried in the snow.
b. Keep children, pets, and bystanders away from the area of operation. Be aware that the normal noise of the unit when turned on may make it difficult for you to hear approaching people.
c. When turning the snow blower, use the wheel on one side as the pivot point. Slightly tilt the machine on this pivot point to move it to the left or right.
d. Start your clearing path outward, throwing snow in a back and forth motion To clear in the opposite direction, pivot the snow blower on its wheel. Make sure to overlap clearing
paths.
e. Note the direction of the wind before beginning.
If possible, move in the same direction as the wind so that the snow is not thrown against the wind Cand thus back into your face and on the cleared path).
f. Do not push the snow blower with excessive force. You should push the unit gently and evenly in accordance with the unit’s throw rate.
g. Some parts of the snow blower may freeze under extreme temperature conditions. Do not attempt to operate the snow blower with frozen parts. If the parts freeze while the snow
blower is in use, stop the snow blower, remove the battery packs, and inspect for frozen parts. Free all parts before restarting or operating the snow blower. Never force controls that
are frozen.
h. Operate the snow blower on level surfaces.
Stay off slippery surfaces.
i. Cold Weather Operation: Lithium-ion batteries can be safely used within temperatures ranging from 1.4°F (-17°C) to 113°F (45°C). Note: Do not store or charge battery pack outside.
Battery pack must be charged and stored indoors prior to use of the snow blower.
j. If the snow blower does not start, remove the battery packs from snow blower. Place the battery pack on its charger and allow to charge for 10 minutes. Remove from charger and install in snow blower for use. The startup issue may be caused from the battery packs being too cold. To avoid this issue, ensure that the battery is stored in a dry, cool place for storage and charging and remains indoors until ready to use.
k. For larger areas, a definite pattern of operation is required to thoroughly clean an area of snow. These patterns will not only avoid throwing snow in unwanted places but will also eliminate the need for a second removal of snow. (Fig. 22)
Pattern A: Throw the snow from right to left where possible. For areas such as a long driveway, it is advantageous to start in the middle. Blow 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.

FOR BEST PERFORMANCE
a. For complete snow removal, walk slowly and slightly overlap each path previously taken.
b. Position discharge chute downwind when possible.
c. Do not allow unit to ingest gravel and rocks. Push the upper handle down slightly over loose surfaces to avoid ingesting debris.
d. Inspect auger before each use and remove any accumulation/debris. DO NOT use hands to clear.
