Operating Tips

Snow Mode
•
Start the Power Shovel Plus and tilt it forward until the
scraper blade contacts the ground. Push the Power
Shovel Plus 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 Plus 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 Plus can remove snow up to 6
in. (15 cm) deep in one pass. When clearing deeper
drifts, hold the Power Shovel Plus 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 Plus. Hang the extension cord with the Power
Shovel Plus so it will not be misplaced or damaged.
Broom Mode
•
Start the Power Shovel Plus and push it forward at a
comfortable rate of speed, yet slow enough to clear the
path completely. The width and depth of the debris
determines your forward speed. Tilt it forward to
increase the contact between the brush and the surface.
•
Direct the debris to the right or to the left by holding
the Power Shovel Plus at a slight angle.
•
For the most efficient debris removal, sweep it
downwind, and slightly overlap each swath.
•
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.
