Replacing the Scraper Bar

1. The scraper bar is located at the base of the snow blower

beneath the rotor housing (Fig. 21).

2. Detach the worn scraper bar from the snow blower by

removing the 4 screws that hold it in place (Fig. 22).

3. Install the new scraper bar and fasten it securely to the

snow blower with 4 screws (Fig. 21).

Storage

1. Clean the snow blower before storing or transporting.

Be sure to secure the unit while transporting.

2. Remove the battery and the safety key from the snow

blower.

3. Inspect the snow blower carefully for worn, loose, or

damaged parts. Check connections and screws and
tighten if necessary. For repairing or replacing parts,
contact your Snow Joe

®

dealer or Snow Joe

®

customer

service center at 1-866-766-9563.

4. Store the unit in a locked, dry place out of the reach of

children to prevent unauthorized use or damage. Cover
loosely with a tarp for added protection.

Battery/Charger Off-Season Storage

1. Do not expose your battery pack or charger to water,

rain, or allow them to get wet. This could permanently

damage the charger and the battery pack. Do not use oil
or solvents to clean or lubricate your battery pack as the
plastic casing can become brittle and crack, causing a
serious risk of injury.

2. Store the battery pack 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)). Snow Joe

packs maintain their charge during storage longer than
other battery pack types. After about a year of storage,
charge the pack as you normally would.

3. As a general practice, it is best to unplug battery chargers

and remove battery packs when they are not in use.
However, battery pack damage will not occur if the
charger and battery pack are left plugged in.

Environmentally Safe Battery
Disposal

Always dispose of your battery pack according to federal,
state, and local regulations. Contact a recycling agency in your
area for recycling locations.

m

CAUTION!

Even discharged battery packs contain

some energy. Before disposing, use electrical tape to cover
the terminals to prevent the battery pack from shorting, which
could cause a fire or explosion.

m

WARNING!

To reduce the risk of injury or explosion,

never burn or incinerate a battery pack even if it is damaged,
dead, or completely discharged. When burned, toxic fumes
and materials are emitted into the surrounding atmosphere.
