OPERATING

Model SN74016

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.

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).

OPERATING

On/Off Switch (Fig. 4)

WARNING: The auger starts rotating immediately after

the snow thrower is switched on. Keep hands and feet

away from the auger.

To switch ON, hold the snow thrower firmly with two

hands, make sure the auger is not touching any surface

and press the Safety Lock Off Button (2) while squeezing

the On/Off trigger switch (3).

Once the snow thrower is started you can release the

Safety Lock Off Button.

To switch Off simply release the trigger.

Removing snow

WARNING: Before starting work, make sure that the area

to be cleared is free of stones, debris, wires and any oth-

er 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.

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.

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.

Model SN74016

Regular cleaning and maintenance of your snow thrower

will ensure efficiency and prolong the life of the product.

After each use, take apart and clean out the ice and

debris from the ventilator and its slots, the auger and

the housing.

Only use a cloth soaked with hot water and a soft brush

to clean the snow thrower. Never wet or spray water on

the machine!

Do not use detergents or solvents as these could cause

irreparable damage to the snow thrower. Chemicals can

destroy the plastic parts.

To protect the snow thrower from corrosion when storing

for long periods, lightly oil the metal parts.

Store the appliance in a dry area out of reach of children.

For the user’s safety, worn or damaged parts must be

replaced. Replace with original replacement parts only.

Parts from another snow thrower may not fit properly

causing an unsafe situation.

CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

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˚F(-20˚C) 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.
