Motor Overload; Clearing Blockages; Maintenance - Black & Decker SNC3650L252 Original Instructions Manual

ENGLISH
Start your clearing path in the centre of the operation area.
u
Throw snow in a back and forth motion, each time moving
the discharge chute away from the area you are clearing.
Ensure to overlap clearing paths.
If possible, discharge snow in the same direction as the
u
wind, not against the wind. This prevents snow from being
blown onto the cleared areas.
When working on stone, gravel, or unpaved surfaces,
u
avoid throwing loose material along with the snow by
pushing down on the handle to raise the scraper at the
base of the unit above the stone or gravel.

Motor overload

To prevent damage due to overload conditions, do not try to
remove too much snow at one time. Do not push the snow
thrower with excessive force. Slow down, allow the snow
thrower to work at its own pace.
Changing throw direction and throw height
Warning! Never direct the snow discharge chute towards the
operator, bystanders, vehicles, or nearby structures. The
discharged snow and foreign objects accidentally picked up
and thrown by the snow thrower can cause serious damage
and personal injury.
Always orient the discharge chute in the opposite direction
from where the operator, bystanders, surrounding vehicles, or
structures are located.
The discharge chute has an operating range of 180
u
degrees. Direct the snow discharge by rotating the chute
with the chute rotation rod (5) as shown in Figure 16.
Warning! Release the bail handle (2), remove the safety key
(3) and remove the battery before making any adjustments,
inspecting, services, changing of accessories, cleaning the
snow thrower, and the like. Any operation should be performed
only after the revolving parts inside the snow thrower have
come to a full stop.
The chute deflector (11) on the top of the discharge chute (10)
controls the height of the snow discharge stream. When the
deflector is up, the snow will discharge higher.When the
deflector is down, the snow will discharge lower.
Loosen the deflector knobs (12) to raise or lower the
u
deflector to the desired height. Re-tighten the deflector
knobs (12) to secure the deflector.
NOTE: Do not overtighten the deflector knobs.
Warning! Ensure that the chute deflector fully locks onto the
discharge chute. Any gap between the discharge chute and
the chute deflector could allow foreign objects picked up by
the snow thrower to be thrown in the direction of the operator
causing serious bodily injury.
Do not position the chute deflector too far downward as
u
this can cause a gap (28) to appear between the deflector
and discharge chute as shown in Figure Q.
