Power Source Selection (Hybrid Technology)

This hybrid snow blower allows you to choose between battery power for cordless operation or corded electric power for continuous use.

• Für den kabellosen Betrieb: Ensure the fully charged battery is installed and the power source selector switch is set to 'DC' (Battery).
• For Corded Operation: Connect a suitable outdoor extension cord (12-gauge, extreme-weather rated) to the snow blower's power inlet. Ensure the power source selector switch is set to 'AC' (Electric). The battery does not need to be installed for corded operation, and it is recommended to remove it to prevent unnecessary wear.

Bedienungsanleitung

Befolgen Sie diese Schritte für eine sichere und effektive Schneeräumung.

1. Starten der Schneefräse: Ensure the correct power source (battery or corded) is selected. Press and hold the safety button, then pull the bail switch lever towards the handle. The auger will begin to rotate.
2. Schneeräumen: Push the snow blower forward at a comfortable pace. The 18-inch clearing width and 8-inch clearing depth are ideal for light to moderate snowfalls. Avoid forcing the machine through heavy, wet snow, as this can cause it to bog down.
3. Adjusting the Chute: Use the 180° adjustable chute control to direct the snow stream up to 20 feet away. This helps to prevent snow from being thrown onto cleared areas or neighboring properties.
4. Using the LED Headlight: For nighttime operation, activate the integrated 3W LED headlight to illuminate your path and enhance visibility.
5. Schaberleiste: The integrated scraper bar at the base of the unit allows you to clear snow right down to the ground without damaging your deck or pavement.
6. Anhalten der Schneefräse: Release the bail switch lever to stop the auger. For complete shutdown, remove the battery or unplug the extension cord.
