Battery Operated Snow Blower
1. Run the machine a few minutes after throwing snow to prevent the auger from freezing.
2. Examine the cordless snow blower thoroughly for worn, loose, or damaged parts. Should you need to repair or replace a part, contact an authorized Snow Joe® + Sun Joe® dealer or call the Snow Joe® + Sun Joe® customer service center at 1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563) for assistance.
3. Clean the snow blower before storing or transporting it. Be sure to secure the unit while transporting.
4. Remove the batteries from the cordless snow blower before storing them.
5. Store the cordless snow blower indoors in a locked, dry place out of the reach of children to prevent unauthorized use or damage.
6. Maintain safety and instruction labels, as necessary.
Battery + Charger Off-Season Storage
1. Do not expose your battery packs or charger to water, or rain or allow them to get wet. This could permanently damage the charger and the battery packs. Do not use oil or solvents to clean or lubricate your battery packs as the plastic casing can become brittle and crack, causing a serious risk of injury.
2. Store the battery packs and charger at room temperature away from moisture. Do not store in damp locations where corrosion of terminals may occur. As with other battery pack types, permanent capacity loss can result if the pack is stored for long periods of time at high temperatures (over 120ºF/49ºC).
3. 24V iON+ lithium-ion battery packs maintain their charge during storage longer than other battery pack types. Generally, it is best to unplug the battery charger and remove the battery packs when they are not in use. Recharge the battery packs every 6 months to 50% capacity (2 lights on) during off-season storage to maintain optimal battery performance
