Snow Blower Overload Protection
To prevent overload conditions, do not try to remove too much snow at a time. Slow down your
pace or decrease the width of the snow-clearing swath.
Your snow blower has built-in overload-sensing elements. When the snow blower is
overloaded, the motor will decrease the speed automatically and you will hear a decrease of
motor noise. Slow down your pace or narrow the clearing width in this case, after which the
motor speed will resume its normal operation automatically. If this remedy does not solve the
overload situation, the sensor will shut off the motor automatically. Remove the battery pack
from the snow blower. Check to see if there is snow or ice stuck in the auger and deck, and
use a clean-out tool to clear them out as necessary. Reattach the battery pack and restart the
snow blower.
