Operating Tips

Start the Power Shovel and tilt it forward until the scraper blade contacts the ground. Push the Power Shovel forward at a comfortable rate of speed, yet slow enough to clear the path completely. The width and depth of the snow determines your forward speed.

Direct the snow to the right or to the left by holding the Power Shovel at a slight angle.

For the most efficient snow removal, throw the snow downwind, and slightly overlap each swath.

If you need to clear snow from crushed rock or gravel, push down on the handle to raise the scraper clear of loose material that the rotor blades could throw.

The Power Shovel can remove snow up to 6 in. (15 cm) deep in one pass. When clearing deeper drifts, hold the Power Shovel by the upper and lower handles and use a swinging or sweeping motion. Remove a maximum of 6 inches (15 cm) with each pass and repeat as many times as required.

Keep the cord clear of obstructions, sharp objects, and rotor. Do not pull sharply on the cord or abuse it in any manner. Frequently inspect the cord for damage. If it is damaged, replace the cord.

Disconnect the extension cord after using the Power Shovel. Hang the extension cord with the Power Shovel so it will not be misplaced or damaged.
