WILL TEMPERATURE AFFECT MY BATTERY PERFORMANCE?
Lithium-Ion batteries are very resilient to cold temperatures. However, we always recommend charging and storing the battery in a safe, dry, room temperature environment. Long-term cold whether use/storage can cause the internal temperature of the battery to drop. If the internal temperature of the battery drops below -17°C, voltage output maybe reduced and battery communication may be affected. However, if a cold battery is brought back into a safe, dry, room temperature environment and allowed to warm up (should take no more than 10-20 minutes), then there should be no long-term negative impact to battery performance or lifespan. Please note that we recommend placing the battery on the charger after it has returned to room temperature to ensure maximum charge when in use.
CAN I USE MY SNOW BLOWER ON GRAVEL?
No, we don't recommend using our Greenworks Snow Throwers or Snow Shovels on gravel surfaces. Gravel, stones, or any loose surface material will be picked up and thrown by the snow thrower, causing damage to the unit and potentially to nearby property and people.
WHAT IS THE RECOMMENDED AMBIENT TEMPERATURE RANGE?
Greenworks snow throwers can be stored at any temperature if the environment is sheltered (indoors) and dry. However, batteries and chargers should be stored between 1.4°F (-17°C) ~ 113°F (45°C).
MY CHUTE IS CLOGGED WITH SNOW, WHAT SHOULD I DO?
On rare occasions, heavy or icy snow may cause the discharge chute to become clogged. A clogged snowblower is caused by ice or sticky snow building up around the discharge chute and not allowing snow to flow through as it normally would. If you do get a clog while snow blowing, DO NOT attempt to unclog it with your hands or feet. Instead, turn your machine off and wait at least 10 seconds for it to fully stop. Then, use a broom handle or other long, stiff object to clear the blockage. Lastly, make sure the adjustment chute is not all the way down"”this will clog the machine and cause the unit to stop.
HOW FAR CAN THE SNOW THROWER DISCHARGE SNOW?
The distances at which snow is thrown is dependent on the type of snow. For example, light/fluffy snow will have a greater throwing distance in comparison to wet/heavy snowfalls.
CAN YOU LUBRICATE THE SNOW CHUTE TO THROW SNOW FURTHER?
Though lubricant can be used to reduce clogging which can prevent the snow thrower from throwing at capacity, how far the snow is thrown mostly depends on how heavy the snow is. You can reduce snow clogging issues which can affect performance by using an ice repellent or Teflon spray.
WHAT DOES THE "RABBIT BUTTON" DO ON THE SINGLE STAGE 22" SNOW THROWER?
The "Rabbit Button" is a part of the snow thrower's variable speed options. Press the speed switch towards the rabbit symbol for higher impeller speed and discharge distance in heavy conditions. Press the speed switch towards the turtle symbol to decrease the impeller speed for longer runtime in light conditions.
ANY RECOMMENDATIONS ON A WEATHERPROOF OUTDOOR COVER FOR THE SNOW BLOWER?
We recommend that you do not store this snow blower outdoors. Instead, store it an enclosed area away from the elements (such as a shed or garage). Batteries and chargers should be stored in a dry, climate-controlled environment (in home or in an insulated/heated garage or shed). Batteries and chargers should also be stored away from sources of extreme heat such as heating pipes, hot water pipes, and open flames.
