Before Operating
Read and understand the contents of this manual
before operating the Power Shovel. Become familiar
with all controls, and know how to stop the Power
Shovel quickly.
Keep everyone, especially children and pets, away
from the area of operation. Never allow children to
operate the Power Shovel.
Inspect the area thoroughly where you will use the
Power Shovel. Remove doormats, sleds, boards, sticks,
wire, and other foreign objects that the Power Shovel
might pick up and throw. Never direct the discharge
toward people.
Keep all shields and safety devices in place. Repair or
replace any illegible or damaged shield, safety device,
or decal. Tighten any loose nuts, bolts, or screws.
Wear adequate winter clothing and rubber boots to
ensure secure footing on slippery surfaces. Do not
wear loose-fitting clothing that can catch in moving
parts.
Use the Power Shovel on gravel or crushed rock
surfaces only according to the instructions in
Operating on page 6.
WARNING—To prevent electric shock, use only
a UL-approved extension cord suitable for outdoor use
in cold temperatures (16-gauge minimum). Promptly
replace a damaged extension cord.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electric shock, the Power Shovel
has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other)
(Fig. 6) that requires a polarized extension cord. The
appliance plug fits into a polarized extension cord only
one way. If the plug does not fit properly into the
extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does
not fit, obtain a correct polarized extension cord. A
polarized extension cord requires the use of a polarized
wall outlet. This plug fits into the polarized wall outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the
wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper
wall outlet. Do not change the equipment plug, the
extension cord receptacle, or the extension cord plug
in any way.
To prevent the Power Shovel cord from disconnecting
from the extension cord during operation, tie the
extension cord to the lower handle before connecting
to the Power Shovel cord; refer to Figure 7.
While Operating
Never operate the Power Shovel near people, pets,
glass enclosures, automobiles, trucks, window wells,
or a drop-off without properly adjusting the snow
discharge angle; refer to Operating Tips on page 5.
Avoid accidental starting. Do not insert the key until
after plugging in the Power Shovel. Remove the key
before carrying the Power Shovel when plugged in.
If the Power Shovel cord is damaged, pull the
extension cord from the wall receptacle and replace
the cord.
