Questions and answers
I have a yardworks 270-3397 that I purchased 1-1-22. It has worked fine for the short time I have had it. Very little snow the last two years. Maybe used a dozen times. This year with full battery charge, the e unit shuts off after about 3 ft. Only 1/2 inch of light snow. I charged the batteries periodically in the off seasons. On line help has been useless. The manual does not help. Can you help?
The possible cause of the Yardworks 270-3397 unit shutting off after a short distance in light snow could be a depleted battery. The manual suggests charging the battery if performance issues arise. Additionally, if the battery is too cold, placing it on the charger for 10 minutes before reinstalling it in the snow blower may help.
