Power Base Assembly
1.
Position the power base (G) beneath the handle support
(H) as shown in Figure 5-2.
2.
Pull the power base connector (F) out of the power base 
(G). Push to snap together the connector on the handle 
support to the power head’s connector; only one position 
is possible, and they should fit without forcing (Figure 5-1).
3.
Push the coupled connectors back into the motor compartment.
4.
With the Snow Joe decal on the handle support (H) facing 
you, line up the grooves in the handle support (H) with
the grooves in the power base, and slide together until 
interlocked (Figure 5-3).
IMPORTANT:
If you encounter any resistance, STOP!
Possibly the wiring and connectors are out of position;
in that case, reinsert them with care into the motor
compartment and repeat step 4.
5.
Locate two Phillips-head screws (I) in the Parts Bag. Insert
the first screw into the hole in back of the handle support 
and turn until tight. Insert the second screw into second
hole and tighten (Figure 5-3).
