If skin is exposed to battery uids, wash the aected area with soap and water and rinse with vinegar. If eyes are exposed to battery chemicals, immediately ush with water for 20 minutes and seek medical attention. Remove and dispose of contaminated clothing.

• Do not short circuit – A battery pack will short circuit if a metal object makes a connection between the positive and negative contacts on the battery pack. Do not place a battery pack near anything that may cause a short circuit, such as paper clips, coins, keys, screws, nails and other metallic objects. A short-circuited battery pack poses a risk of re and severe personal injury.

• Store your battery packs and charger in a cool, dry place – Do not store the battery packs or charger where temperatures may exceed 104ºF (40ºC), such as in direct sunlight or inside a vehicle or metal building during the summer. Information about the batteries

1. The battery packs (model iON100V-5AMP or greater)

must be purchased separately for use with this cordless snow blower are only partially charged. The battery packs have to be charged completely before youusethetoolforthersttime.

2. For optimum battery performance, avoid low discharge

cycles by charging the battery packs frequently.

3. Store the battery packs in a cool place, ideally at 59°F

(15°C) and charged to at least 40%.

4. Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural aging

process. The battery pack must be replaced at the latest when its capacity falls to just 80% of its capacity when new. Weakened cells in an aged battery pack are no longer capable of meeting the high power requirements needed for the proper operation of your snow blower, and therefore pose a safety risk.

5. Do not throw battery packs into an open re as this poses

a risk of explosion.

6. Do not ignite the battery packs or expose them to re.

7. Do not exhaustively discharge batteries. Exhaustive

discharge will damage the battery cells. The most common cause of exhaustive discharge is lengthy storage or non-use of partially discharged batteries. Stop working as soon as the performance of the battery falls noticeably or the electronic protection system triggers. Place the battery packs in storage only after it has been fully charged.

8. Protect batteries and the tool from overloads. Overloads

will quickly result in overheating and cell damage inside the battery housing even if this overheating is not apparent externally.

9. Avoid damage and shocks. Immediately replace batteries

that have been dropped from a height of more than one meter or those that have been exposed to violent shocks, even if the housing of the battery pack appears to be undamaged. The battery cells inside the battery may have suered serious damage. In such instances, please read the waste disposal information for proper battery disposal.

10. If the battery packs suer overloading and overheating,

the integrated protective cuto will switch o the equipment for safety reasons. IMPORTANT! Do not press the ON/OFF switch any more if the protective cut-o has been activated. This may damage the battery packs.

11. Use only original battery packs. The use of other batteries

poses a re risk and may result in injuries or an explosion.5 Information about the charger and the charging process

become warm. Allow the battery packs to cool to room temperature before inserting into the charger to recharge.

7. Do not overcharge batteries. Do not exceed the maximum

charging times. These charging times only apply to discharged batteries. Frequent insertion of a charged or partially charged battery pack will result in overcharging and cell damage. Do not leave batteries in the charger for days on end.

8. Never use or charge batteries if you suspect that they

have been more than 12 months since the last time they were charged. There is a high probability that the battery pack has already suered dangerous damage (exhaustive discharge).

9. Charging batteries at a temperature below 32°F (0°C) will

cause chemical damage to the cells and may cause a re.

10. Do not use batteries that have been exposed to heat

during the charging process, as the battery cells may have suered dangerous damage.

11. Do not use batteries that have suered curvature or

deformation during the charging process or those that exhibit other atypical symptoms (gassing, hissing, cracking, etc.)

12. Never fully discharge the battery packs (maximum

recommended depth of discharge is 80%). A complete discharge of the battery pack will lead to premature aging of the battery cells. Protection from environmental inuences

1. Wear suitable work clothes. Wear safety goggles.

2. Protect your cordless tool and the battery charger from

moisture and rain. Moisture and rain can cause dangerous cell damage.

3. Do not use the cordless tool or the battery charger near

Drive Trigger (Right-Handle) (Fig. 17) Squeeze the drive trigger against the right-handle to engage the wheel drive for propelling unit. Forward speed will vary according to snow depth and moisture content. NOTE: When travelling to or from the area to be cleared, press down on the handle grips enough to raise the front of the unit slightly o the surface. Engage the drive trigger without engaging the auger trigger. Chute Clean-Out Tool The chute clean-out tool is fastened to the top of the auger housing with a mounting clip (Fig. 18). mWARNING! Hand contact with the rotating impeller is the most common cause of injury associated with snow blowers. Never use your hands to clear a clogged discharge chute. Shut o motor and remain behind handles until all moving parts have stopped before unclogging. To clear the discharge chute:

1. Release both the auger trigger and the drive trigger.

2. Wait 10 seconds and make sure impeller blades have

3. Remove the clean-out tool from the mounting clip which

secures it to the top of the auger housing.

4. Use the shovel-shaped end of the clean-out tool to

dislodge and scoop any snow and ice which has formed in and near the discharge chute.

5. Refasten the clean-out tool to mounting clip on the top of

the auger housing, ip up the safety switch and restart the snow blower’s motor. While standing in the operator’s position (behind the snow blower), engage the auger trigger for a few seconds to clear any remaining snow and ice from the discharge chute. Scraper Blade The scraper blade allows the back of the housing to keep better contact with the surface being cleared. It also prevents damage to the housing from normal use. IMPORTANT! DO NOT allow scraper blade to wear too far or auger/impeller housing will become damaged. Skid Shoes The skid shoes control the distance between the scraper blade and the ground. Adjust skid shoes equally to keep blade level with the ground. Position the skid shoes based on surface conditions. Adjust upward for hard-packed snow. Adjust downward when operating on gravel or crushed rock surfaces. mWARNING! It is not recommended that you operate this snow blower on gravel as it can easily pick up and throw loose gravel, causing personal injury or damage to the snow blower and surrounding property.

1. For close snow removal on a smooth surface, raise skid

shoes higher on the auger housing. Allow 1/8 in. (3 mm) between scraper blade and hard, smooth surface(s).

2. Use a middle or lower position when the area to be

cleared is uneven, such as a gravel driveway. Allow 1-1/4 in. (30 mm) between scraper blade and uneven or gravel surfaces. NOTE: If you choose to operate the snow blower on a gravel surface, keep the skid shoes in position for maximum clearance between the ground and the scraper blade.

Emergency Stop Immediately release both triggers to stop unit in an emergency. Wait for all rotating parts to stop before leaving operator’s position. Operation mWARNING! Failure to follow instructions could result in personal injury and/or damage to snow blower. DO NOT attempt to start your snow blower at this time. Read entire operator manual rst. See page 13 for all controls and features. mWARNING! Keep the area to be cleared free of stones, toys or other foreign objects that the rotor blades might pick up and throw. Such items could be covered by snow and are easy to overlook, so be sure to conduct a thorough inspection of the area before beginning work. Starting the Machine IMPORTANT! Make sure both triggers are released before inserting the battery packs.

1. Open the battery compartment cover and slide two battery

packs down until they both click and lock into position (Fig. 20). Close the cover.

2. Flip up the safety switch, then squeeze the auger trigger

against the left-handle (Fig. 21). The auger will start rotating and plowing snow. NOTE: Auger trigger should be engaged before drive trigger when throwing snow.

3. Use the auger speed control lever to set a comfortable

plowing speed (Fig. 22). Fig. 19 Skid shoe Hex nuts 13 mm wrench end Fig. 20 Battery compartment cover Battery packs Fig. 21 Flip up the safety switch

IMPORTANT! DO NOT overload unit capacity by attempting to clear snow at too fast a rate. Use slow speed to clear deep or hard packed snow.

4. Squeeze drive trigger against the right-handle and the

snow blower will move (Fig. 23). When the blower is moving steadily, you can release the drive trigger while keep the auger trigger squeezed to maintain the snow blower's movement. Release the auger trigger and both the drive motion and plow motion will stop.

5. Use the drive speed control lever, adjust the speed for a

comfortable pace (Fig. 24). IMPORTANT! Drive speed can be changed without stopping the snow blower. Stopping the Machine

1. Release the auger trigger. Drive motor and auger will both

2. Wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop.

3. Remove the batteries.

Reverse Traveling Be careful when moving backward with the snow blower. Always look down and behind before backing up. For safety reasons, the machine cannot throw snow when moving backward. When auger trigger is activated during reverse travelling, the machine will exit the reverse mode and stop.

NOTE: When the reverse button is pressed, the reverse mode is activated for 15 seconds. If the drive trigger is not squeezed within 15 seconds, the snow blower will exit the reverse mode. Operating Tips mWARNING! Foreign objects, such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or string, can be picked up and thrown by the snow blower, causing serious personal injury. Remove all foreign objects from the area to be plowed before operating the snow blower. Snow is best removed as soon as possible after snow fall.

1. Keep the area of operation free of foreign objects that can

become thrown by the rotor blades. Perform a thorough inspection of the area since some objects may be hidden from view by surrounding snow. If the snow blower hits an obstruction or picks up a foreign object during use, stop the snow blower, remove the batteries, remove the obstruction, and inspect the unit for damage. Repair or replace any damaged part before restarting and operating the unit.

2. Keep children, pets, and bystanders away from the area of

operation. Be aware that the normal noise of the machine when turned on may make it dicult for you to hear approaching people.

3. For larger areas, a denite pattern of operation is required

to thoroughly clean an area of snow. These patterns will avoid throwing snow in unwanted places, a well as eliminate the need for a second removal of snow (Fig. 27). 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.

4. Note the wind direction. If possible, move in the same

direction as the wind so that the snow is not thrown against the wind (and thus back into your face and on the just cleared path).

5. Do not push the snow blower with excessive force. Do not

exceed the unit's intake or throw rate.

6. 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 batteries, and inspect for frozen parts. Free all parts before restarting or operating the snow blower. Never force controls that have frozen. Maintenance To order genuine replacement parts or accessories for the Snow Joe

customer service center at 1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563). mWARNING! Make sure to turn o the snow blower and remove the batteries before performing any maintenance task on your snow blower. General Maintenance Tips

1. Do not attempt to repair the machine unless you have the

proper tools and instructions for disassembly and repair of the machine.

2. Check bolts and screws at frequent intervals for proper

tightness to ensure that the equipment is in safe working condition. Fig. 27 pattern A pattern B18 3. After each snow removal session, run the snow blower for a few minutes to prevent the collector/impeller from freezing. Shut o the motor, wait for all revolving parts to stop completely, remove the batteries and wipe residual ice and snow o the unit. Proper Care for Battery + Charger mWARNING! To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug the charger and remove the battery pack from the charger before performing any maintenance task. Never disassemble the battery packs or charger. Contact your Snow Joe

Sun Joe dealer or the Snow Joe + Sun Joe customer service center for ALL repairs.1. To reduce the risk of injury and damage, never immerse your battery packs or charger in liquid or allow any liquid to ow inside these components.2. Clean out dust and debris from charger vents and electrical contacts by blowing with compressed air.3. Use only mild soap on a damp cloth to clean the battery packs and charger, keeping away from all electrical contacts. Certain cleaning agents and solvents are harmful to plastics and other insulated parts. Some of these include gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents containing ammonia. Never use ammable or combustible solvents around battery packs, battery chargers or tools.4. The iON100V-RCH lithium-ion battery charger has no serviceable parts. Check Tire Pressure mWARNING! Under any circumstance do not exceed manufacturer’s recommended PSI. Equal tire pressure should be maintained at all times for performance purposes. Excessive pressure may cause tire/rim assembly to burst with force sucient to cause serious injury. Refer to sidewall of tire for recommended pressure.The tires are over-inated for shipping purposes. Check the tire pressure before operating the snow blower and deate (or inate) the tires as necessary. mCAUTION! Avoid injury. Explosive separation of tire and rim parts is possible when they are serviced incorrectly:• Do not attempt to mount a tire without proper equipment and experience to perform the job.• Do not inate the tires above the recommended pressure.• Do not weld or heat a wheel and tire assembly. Heat can cause an increase in air pressure resulting in an explosion. Welding can structurally weaken or deform the wheel.• Do not stand in front or over the tire assembly when inating. Use a clip-on chuck and extension hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side. Replacing Skid Shoes The skid shoes on the bottom of the snow blower are subject to wear. They should be checked periodically and replaced when necessary.To replace skid shoes:1. Position unit on a hard, at, smooth level surface.2. Using the 13 mm open end wrench, remove the 4 hex nuts (2 on each side), washers and bolts which secure the skid shoes to the snow blower (Fig. 28).

3. Install the new skid shoes by tightening the 4 sets of hex

nuts, washers and bolts on both sides, but leave the skid shoes free to move for height adjustment.4. Slide skid shoes to at surface. Allow 1/8 in. (3 mm) between scraper blade and hard smooth surface. Allow 1-1/4 in. (30 mm) between scraper blade and uneven or gravel surfaces. NOTE: Keep housing level by adjusting skid shoes equally.5. Retighten the 4 sets of hex nuts and bolts on both sides. Replacing Scraper Blade Manufacturer's Recommended Tire Pressure 20 PSI Fig. 28Skid shoeHex nutWashersBolts13 mm wrench endFig. 29Scraper blade19 IMPORTANT! Damage to auger/impeller housing will result if the scraper blade wears down too far. To replace scraper blade:

1. Position the unit on a hard, at, smooth level surface.

2. Detach the worn scraper blade from the snow blower by

removing the 5 hex nuts and bolts that hold it in place (Fig. 29).

3. Install the new scraper blade and fasten it securely to the

snow blower with 5 hex nuts and bolts. Replacing Shear Bolts The auger is secured to the auger shaft with shear bolts and nuts. If the auger should strike a foreign object or ice jam, the snow blower is designed so that the bolts may shear. If the auger will not turn, check to see if the bolts have sheared. mCAUTION! Use only manufacturer's recommended shear bolts for replacement. Use of any other type of shear bolts may result in severe damage to unit and may void the warranty. Call the Snow Joe

customer service center at 1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563) for assistance. Occasionally a foreign object may enter the auger/impeller housing and jam the auger, breaking the shear bolts which secure the auger to the shaft. This allows the auger to turn freely on the shaft which may help prevent damage to the gearcase and its components. mWARNING! Always turn o the snow blower’s motor and remove the batteries prior to replacing shear bolts.

1. Align shear bolt holes in auger with shear bolt holes in the

2. Drive shear bolt through hole. If shear bolt was broken this

will drive remaining part from shaft (Fig. 30).

3. Secure shear bolts with the nuts, with the 10 mm end of

either open end wrench (Fig. 30). Replacing Auger Blades

1. Disassemble the auger and impeller assembly by

removing the bolts from the sides of the auger housing with the 12 mm open end wrench (Fig. 31), and pull out the auger and impeller assembly (Fig. 32).
