If the snow blower strikes a foreign object follow these steps:
1) Stop snow blower. Release the switch.
2) Remove the battery packs.
3) Inspect for damage.
4) Repair any damage before restarting and operating the snow blower.
Store Idle Snow Blowers Indoors-When not in use, snow blowers should be stored indoors in dry, looked-up place – out of reach of children.
Maintain Snow Blowers with Care – Following instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
TRAINING
Read, understand and follow all instructions on the machine and in the manual(s) before operating this unit. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and the proper use of the equipment. Know how to stop the unit and disengage the controls quickly.
Never allow children to operate the equipment. Never allow adults to operate the equipment without proper instruction.
Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, particularly small children.
Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling, especially when operating the snow blower in reverse.
PREPARATION
Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and remove all doormats, sleds, boards, wires, and other foreign objects.
Do not operate the equipment without wearing adequate winter garments. Avoid loose ttings, clothing that can get caught in moving parts. Wear footwear that will improve footing on slippery surfaces.
Never attempt to make any adjustments while the motor is running (except when specically recommended by manufacturer).

56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS BRUSHLESS SNOW BLOWER — SNT2100 7
OPERATION
Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts. Keep clear of the discharger opening at all times.
Exercise extreme caution when operating on or crossing gravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay alert for hidden hazards or trafc.
After striking a foreign object, stop the motor, remove the battery packs, thoroughly inspect the snow blower for any damage, and repair the damage before restarting and operating the snow blower.
If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the motor and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
Stop the motor whenever you leave the operating position, before unclogging the auger assembly housing or discharge chute, and when making any repairs, adjustments or inspections.
When clearing, repairing or inspecting the snow blower, stop the motor and make certain the auger assembly and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the battery packs to prevent someone from accidentally starting the motor.
Excise extreme caution when operating on slopes.
Never operate the snow blower without proper guards and other safety protective devices in place and working.
Never direct the discharge toward people or areas where property damage can occur. Keep children and others away.
Do not overload the machine capacity by attempting to clear snow at too fast a rate.
Disengage power to the auger assembly when snow blower is transported or not in use.
Use only attachments and accessories approved by the manufacturer of the snow blower (such as rubber paddles, scraper bar and drive belt).
Never operate the snow blower without good visibility or light. Always be sure of your footing, and keep a rm hold on the handles. Walk; never run.

CLEARING A CLOGGING DISCHARGE CHUTE
Hand contact with the rotating auger assembly inside the discharge chute is the most common cause of injury associated with snow blowers. Never use your hand to clean out the discharge chute.
To clear the chute:
SHUT THE MOTOR OFF!
Wait 10 seconds to be sure the auger assembly blades have stopping rotating.
Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Check all bolts or fasteners at frequent intervals for proper tightness to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.
Always refer to operator’s manual for important details if the snow blower is to be stored for an extended period.
Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as necessary.
Run the machine a few minutes after blowing snow to prevent freeze-up of the auger assembly.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you lend this tool to someone else, also lend these instructions to them to prevent misuse of the product and possibly injury.

POWER INDICATOR ON THE SNOW BLOWER (Fig. 21 & 22)
The snow blower is equipped with a power indicator to indicate the charge level of the battery pack of higher charge and the working status of the snow blower. The power indicator will illuminate when the auger is rotating or when the LED headlights are turned on.
The green light indicates that the battery pack of higher charge is over 15% of its charge capacity.
The red light indicates the two battery packs' charge are low.
The blinking red light indicates that the battery packs are nearly depleted and need to be charged immediately.

Remove the battery packs, check and clean if snow has collected beneath the deck or been stuck into the auger. Slow down your pace or decrease the snow clearing cut width when working.
SNOW BLOWER OVERLOAD PROTECTION
To prevent overload conditions, do not try to remove too much snow at one time. Slow down your pace or decrease the snow clearing cut width.
Your snow blower has built-in overload sensing elements. When the snow blower is overloaded, the motor will decrease the speed automatically, you will hear the motor sound volume is down a bit. Please slow down your walk pace or narrow the clearing cutting width in this case. And then the motor speed will rise to normal setting automatically. If you don’t do as above suggestion, the motor speed is decreased, you still keep pushing forward as quick as possible, the sensing element will shut off the motor automatically, and the power indicator on the snow blower is blinking orange color. Remove the battery packs from the snow blower. Check to see if there is snowfall stuck into the auger and deck, and then use clean-out tool to clear them out if necessary, then reinstall the batteries and restart the snow blower.
56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS BRUSHLESS SNOW BLOWER — SNT2100 23
BATTERY HIGH-TEMPERATURE PROTECTION
To prevent battery high temperature protection, don’t try to use only one battery to power the snow blower when the snowfall is over 3 inch depth or snowfall in very wet/ icy condition.
Always keep two batteries working simultaneously. This is helpful to release out the peak power of the snow blower. If somehow the battery temperature exceeds 158°F (70°C) during operation, the temperature protection circuit will immediately shut off the snow blower to protect the battery packs from overheating damage. The power indicator on the snow blower will shine orange color and LED light on the batteries will ash orange color too. Please release the bail switch, and wait until the overheat batteries cools down to safe temperature (until the ashed orange light of the battery LED turns into green light), then restart the snow blower. Once over temperature protection happened, please slow down your walk pace and narrow the clearing cutting width to reduce the load current of the battery. This is helpful to prolong battery cycle life.

Take notice of the direction of the wind before beginning. When possible, discharge snow in the same direction as the wind to prevent snow from being thrown back into your face.
Some parts of the snow blower can freeze under extreme weather conditions. Do not attempt to operate the unit with frozen parts.
When nished, allow the motor to run for an additional few minutes to prevent moving parts from freezing, then turn the chute rotation handle back and forth several times to free it from any ice buildup. Make sure that clean off any snow and ice from the base of the chute.
In snowy and cold conditions, some controls and moving parts may freeze. Do not use excessive force when trying to operate frozen controls. If you have difculty operating any control or part, start the machine as “STARTING/STOPING THE SNOW BLOWER” section shown and let it run for a few minutes.
