Removing snow

Earthwise SN74016 - Removing snow - 1

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.

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 adjusting 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. (Fig. 5)

The snow thrower can remove up to 8" deep in one pass.

Earthwise SN74016 - Removing snow - 2

text_image 5 1 ↑ 2

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).

Earthwise SN74016 - Removing snow - 3

text_image 6 Correct 8" Incorrect

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.

Earthwise SN74016 - OPERATING - 1

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.

BATTERY METER

Since the snow thrower battery is shipped in a low charge condition, the battery must be charged before use. The battery has 3 LED lights to indicate battery capacity. These lights will only illuminate when the light indicator button is pushed.

If three GREEN lights illuminate, the battery is charged and ready for use. Two green lights are equal to 25%-80% charge, while one green light is equal to 5%-25% charge.

It is recommended to charge battery pack when one light is illuminated.

CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

The snow thrower comes with maintenance free, sealed 40 volt storage batteries.

  • Charge the battery pack only with the charger provided.
  • Allow at least two hours of charge time before initial use of the snow thrower.
    • Make sure the power supply is normal household voltage, 120 volts, 60Hz, AC only.

- The battery should be charged in a cool, dry place.

- To improve battery life, store battery indoors in a controlled climate. Fully charge battery pack every 3 months.

- Since the battery will not develop a memory, it does not have to be fully discharged before recharging.

- 2 to 3 initial charging/discharging cycles may be required to achieve maximum run time/capacity.

- When fully charged, the battery can be safely stored in temperatures down to -4^(-20^) for a period of up to one month before requiring charging. Fully charge battery pack every 3 months.

- The battery charger should be operated in temperatures between 32°F and 100°F(0°C and 37.8°C).

TO CHARGE

Insert the 120 volt plug of the charger into the wall receptacle. Light A will illuminate and stay green. (Fig. 12)
