the motor will decrease the speed automatically and you will hear the volume of the
motor decrease. Slow down your pace or narrow the clearing width, after which the
motor speed will automatically resume its normal setting. If this remedy does not solve
the overload situation, the sensor will shut off the motor automatically and the LED
indicator on the snow blower will ash orange. Remove the battery pack(s) from the
snow blower,wait 10 seconds, and check to see if there is snow or ice stuck in the
auger and deck. If necessary, follow instrucitons for “CLEARING A CLOGGED CHUTE”.
Reinstall the batteries and restart the snow blower.

BATTERY HIGH-TEMPERATURE PROTECTION
The battery pack will generate heat during operation. If the battery temperature exceeds
158°F (70°C) during operation, the protection circuit will immediately turn off the snow
blower to protect the battery pack from heat damage. The snow blower LED indicator will
turn off and the LED on the battery will ash orange or shine red.
NOTICE: The LED on following battery packs will ash orange lights when overheated:
BA1120, BA1120-FC, BA1400, BA1400-FC, BA2240, BA2240-FC, BA2800, BA2800-FC,
BA4200 and BA4200-FC; the LEDs on following battery packs will shine red lights when
overheated: BA1400T, BA1400T-FC, BA2800T, BA2800T-FC, BA4200T, BA4200T-FC,
BA5600T and BA5600T-FC.

If the snow blower is over-heating itself, the LED indicator on the snow blower will ash
orange and the battery indicator will be OFF.
When batteries are overheating, release all the triggers, wait until the overheated battery
pack(s) cool down or change the new battery pack(s), then restart the snow blower. To
prevent shut off due to battery high-temperature protection, don’t try to use a single
battery to power the snow blower when the depth of the accumulated snow exceeds
8 inches or when the snow is very wet or icy. We recommend the use of two batteries
working simultaneously. This is helpful in attaining the peak power of the snow blower.
After high-temperature protection has occurred, slow down your pace and narrow width
of the clearing swath to reduce the load on the battery.
