2.Check Dual Handle Interlock

Without the drive motor running, press down (engage) both clutch levers. Release attachment clutch lever. Attachment clutch should remain engaged until traction clutch lever is released, then both clutches must disengage.

If clutches do not engage or disengage properly, adjust or repair before operation (see Attachment Clutch/Brake Adjustment on page 25 and Traction Drive Clutch Adjustment on page 27).

3. Check Axle Lock Pins

Use the axle lock pins to lock or unlock the wheels. Lock both wheels to increase traction; unlock one wheel to allow for easier turning of the unit.

4. Check Skid Shoes

Check and adjust skid shoes (Skid Shoes on page 20). Allow 1/8 in. (3 mm) between scraper blade and hard, smooth surface(s). Allow 1-1/4 in. (30 mm) between scraper blade and uneven or gravel surfaces.

TO STOP IN AN EMERGENCY

Immediately release both control levers to stop unit in an emergency. Disengage PTO switch, remove key and wait for all rotating parts to stop before leaving operator’s position.

STARTING AND SHUT OFF

WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS could result in personal injury and/or damage to unit. DO NOT attempt to start your unit at this time. Read entire Owner/Operator Manual first.

See Figure 10 for all Controls and Features.

Starting

IMPORTANT: Disengage PTO and release both controls before turning power switch to ON position.

1.Insert key and turn power switch to the ON position. LED in battery level indicator will glow. Drive motor will not yet run.

2.Engage PTO switch. Drive motor will run.

Stopping

1.Release traction drive clutch lever and allow unit to come to a complete stop.

2.Run impeller a few minutes after use to prevent freeze-up of Impeller.

3.Release attachment clutch lever and wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop.

4.Disengage PTO switch. Drive motor will stop.

5.Turn power switch to OFF position and remove key.

6.Attach unit to battery charger.

NOTE: Try out each control without the drive motor running to see how it works and what it does.

SNOW REMOVAL

NOTE: Attachment clutch should be engaged before wheel drive clutch when throwing snow.

1.Select speed control position and direction.

2.Engage attachment clutch (right-hand lever).

3.Engage traction drive clutch (left-hand lever).

IMPORTANT: DO NOT overload unit capacity by attempting to clear snow at too fast a rate. Use slow speed to clear deep or hard packed snow.

Low Battery Voltage

If unit is run to the point of shutting down due to low battery voltage:

1.Disengage PTO switch and turn power switch to OFF position.

2.Manually move unit to a safe location.

3.Wait 2 – 5 minutes and move power and PTO switches to the ON position. Do not engage attachment clutch.

Batteries will regenerate enough power to drive unit back to charging area. Immediately attach battery charger to unit and charge fully.

Tips for Operation

Snow is best removed as soon as possible after snow fall.

To clear an area, run unit in an overlapping series of paths. For large areas, start in the middle and throw snow to each side, so snow is not cleared more than once.

ALWAYS direct snow away from area to be cleared and with direction of the wind.

TRAVELING

To travel from one work area to another:

1.Press down on handlebars enough to raise front of unit slightly off surface.

2.Engage traction drive clutch without engaging attachment drive clutch.
