4 2 3Removing 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.
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.
text_image
5 1 ↑ 2When 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).
text_image
6 Correct 8" IncorrectOPERATING
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.

WARRANTY POLICY
Two (2) year limited warranty on Earthwise 40 volt outdoor power equipment.
Earthwise warrants to the original owner that each new product and service part is free from defects in materials and workmanship and agrees to repair or replace any defective product or part for the warranty period as stated above from the original date of purchase except for the conditions and circumstances listed below:
This warranty applies only to the original purchaser at retail and may not be transferred.
Warranty applies if the product is used for personal, household or family use. Warranty is void if product is used for commercial, industrial or rental purposes.
Warranty does not include repairs necessary due to operator's abuse or negligence (including overloading the product beyond capacity or immersion in water), or the failure to assemble, operate, maintain or store the product according to the instructions in the owner's manual.
This warranty is not transferable and only applies to product sold directly from an authorized
retailer. This warranty does not apply to any product, new or used, purchased through unauthorized third-party channels.
ANY INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS, DAMAGE, OR EXPENSE THAT MAY RESULT FROM ANY DEFECT, FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION OF THE PRODUCT IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
Products sold damaged or incomplete, sold "as is", or sold as reconditioned are not covered under the warranty.
Damage or liability caused by shipping, improper handling, improper assembly, incorrect voltage, improper wiring, improper maintenance, improper modification or the use of accessories and/or attachments not specifically recommended is not covered by this warranty.
Expendable items that become worn during normal use are not covered by the warranty.
Warranty does not cover damage caused by cold, heat, rain, excessive humidity, corrosive environments and materials, or other contaminants.
Warranty does not include installation, assembly or normal adjustments explained in the owner's manual.
The expense of delivering the product to the vendor and the expense of returning the product or replacement parts to the owner is not covered by the warranty.
The warranty does not cover normal deterioration of the exterior finish, including but not limited to scratches, dents, paint chips or any corrosion or discoloration caused by heat, abrasive and chemical cleaners.
Proof of purchase, original dated sales receipt, must accompany all warranty claims.
