When to Charge the iON100V-5AMP Lithium-Ion Batteries

NOTE: The iON100V-5AMP lithium-ion battery packs do not develop a "memory" when charged after only a partial discharge. Therefore, it is not necessary to run down the battery packs before charging.

• Use the battery charge indicator lights to determine when to charge your iON100V-5AMP lithium-ion battery packs.

• You can "top-off" your battery packs' charge before starting a big job or after a long day of use.

Charging the Battery Packs

1. Flip open the battery compartment cover, push the battery releasing buttons to release the battery packs. Pull the batteries out of the equipment (Fig. 4).

2. Check that the mains voltage is the same as that marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Then, insert the charger's plug into the electrical wall outlet. When you plug in the charger, the red light will illuminate steadily (Fig. 5).

CAUTION! Charger iON100V-RCH is rated for 100 –120 volt AC only. DO NOT plug the charger into any outlet that will provide power with a higher voltage. Over voltage charging will be harmful to both the battery and charger, and may cause the charger to burn out.

3. Place one of the battery packs into the charger by sliding the pack as shown until it clicks into the position. When the battery is inserted properly, the green light will slowly flash to indicate that the battery is charging. The red light will turn off. You will also hear a fan sound (Fig. 6).

4. When the green light stays on, the battery is fully charged (Fig. 6).

NOTE: If the green light is off while the red light flashes slowly, this indicates a temperature abnormality (i.e. that the battery pack is too hot). If the green light is off while the red light flashes rapidly, this indicates there's something wrong with the charger or the battery. Wait for a while and try to reinsert the battery into the charger. If the situation still persists, contact Snow Joe ® + Sun Joe ® customer service at 1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563).

5. A fully discharged iON100V-5AMP battery pack with an internal temperature in the normal range will fully charge in 1 hour 40 minutes (between 32ºF/0ºC and 104ºF/40ºC). Heavily discharged battery packs may take longer to charge completely.

6. When charging is complete, remove the battery from the charger by pulling the battery backward to unlock it from the charger (Fig. 7).

7. Repeat the above operations to charge the other battery.

8. Timely recharging of the batteries will help prolong the batteries' life. You must recharge the battery packs when you notice a drop in the equipment's power.

IMPORTANT! Never allow the battery packs to become fully discharged as this will cause irreversible damage to the batteries.

5. Refasten the clean-out tool to mounting clip on the top of the auger housing, flip up the safety switch and restart the snow blower’s motor.

While standing in the operator’s position (behind the snow blower), engage the auger trigger for a few seconds to clear any remaining snow and ice from the discharge chute.

Scraper Blade

The scraper blade allows the back of the housing to keep better contact with the surface being cleared. It also prevents damage to the housing from normal use.

IMPORTANT! DO NOT allow scraper blade to wear too far or auger/impeller housing will become damaged.

Skid Shoes

The skid shoes control the distance between the scraper blade and the ground. Adjust skid shoes equally to keep blade level with the ground.

Position the skid shoes based on surface conditions. Adjust upward for hard-packed snow. Adjust downward when operating on gravel or crushed rock surfaces.

WARNING! It is not recommended that you operate this snow blower on gravel as it can easily pick up and throw loose gravel, causing personal injury or damage to the snow blower and surrounding property.

1. For close snow removal on a smooth surface, raise skid shoes higher on the auger housing. Allow 1/8 in. (3 mm) between scraper blade and hard, smooth surface(s).

2. Use a middle or lower position when the area to be cleared is uneven, such as a gravel driveway. Allow 1-1/4 in. (30 mm) between scraper blade and uneven or gravel surfaces.

NOTE: If you choose to operate the snow blower on a gravel surface, keep the skid shoes in position for maximum clearance between the ground and the scraper blade.

To adjust the skid shoes:

3. Use the 13 mm open end wrench to loosen the 4 hex nuts (2 on each side). Move skid shoes to desired position (Fig. 19).

4. Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid shoes is against the ground to avoid uneven wear on the skid shoes.

5. Retighten hex nuts securely.

Pre-Start

1. Charge batteries – See Charger Operation section on page 10.

2. Check function of triggers – If triggers cannot engage or disengage properly, adjust or repair before operation.

NOTE: When the reverse button is pressed, the reverse mode is activated for 15 seconds. If the drive trigger is not squeezed within 15 seconds, the snow blower will exit the reverse mode.

Operating Tips

WARNING! Foreign objects, such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or string, can be picked up and thrown by the snow blower, causing serious personal injury. Remove all foreign objects from the area to be plowed before operating the snow blower.

Snow is best removed as soon as possible after snow fall.

1. Keep the area of operation free of foreign objects that can become thrown by the rotor blades. Perform a thorough inspection of the area since some objects may be hidden from view by surrounding snow. If the snow blower hits an obstruction or picks up a foreign object during use, stop the snow blower, remove the batteries, remove the obstruction, and inspect the unit for damage. Repair or replace any damaged part before restarting and operating the unit.

2. Keep children, pets, and bystanders away from the area of operation. Be aware that the normal noise of the machine when turned on may make it difficult for you to hear approaching people.

3. For larger areas, a definite pattern of operation is required to thoroughly clean an area of snow. These patterns will avoid throwing snow in unwanted places, a well as eliminate the need for a second removal of snow (Fig. 27).

Pattern A: Throw the snow to the right or left side where it is possible. For areas such as a long driveway, it is advantageous to start in the middle. Plow from one end to the other, throwing snow to both sides.

Pattern B: If the snow can only be thrown to one side of the area to be cleared, start on the opposite side.

4. Note the wind direction. If possible, move in the same direction as the wind so that the snow is not thrown against the wind (and thus back into your face and on the just cleared path).

5. Do not push the snow blower with excessive force. Do not exceed the unit's intake or throw rate.

6. Some parts of the snow blower may freeze under extreme temperature conditions. Do not attempt to operate the snow blower with frozen parts. If the parts freeze while the snow blower is in use, stop the snow blower, remove the batteries, and inspect for frozen parts. Free all parts before restarting or operating the snow blower. Never force controls that have frozen.

Proper Care for Battery + Charger

WARNING! To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug the charger and remove the battery pack from the charger before performing any maintenance task. Never disassemble the battery packs or charger. Contact your Snow Joe ® + Sun Joe ® dealer or the Snow Joe ® + Sun Joe ® customer service center for ALL repairs.

1. To reduce the risk of injury and damage, never immerse your battery packs or charger in liquid or allow any liquid to flow inside these components.

2. Clean out dust and debris from charger vents and electrical contacts by blowing with compressed air.

3. Use only mild soap on a damp cloth to clean the battery packs and charger, keeping away from all electrical contacts. Certain cleaning agents and solvents are harmful to plastics and other insulated parts. Some of these include gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents containing ammonia. Never use flammable or combustible solvents around battery packs, battery chargers or tools.

4. The iON100V-RCH lithium-ion battery charger has no serviceable parts.

Check Tire Pressure

WARNING! Under any circumstance do not exceed manufacturer’s recommended PSI. Equal tire pressure should be maintained at all times for performance purposes. Excessive pressure may cause tire/rim assembly to burst with force sufficient to cause serious injury. Refer to sidewall of tire for recommended pressure.

The tires are over-inflated for shipping purposes. Check the tire pressure before operating the snow blower and deflate (or inflate) the tires as necessary.

Manufacturer's Recommended Tire Pressure 20 PSI

CAUTION! Avoid injury. Explosive separation of tire and rim parts is possible when they are serviced incorrectly:

• Do not attempt to mount a tire without proper equipment and experience to perform the job.

• Do not inflate the tires above the recommended pressure.

• Do not weld or heat a wheel and tire assembly. Heat can cause an increase in air pressure resulting in an explosion. Welding can structurally weaken or deform the wheel.

• Do not stand in front or over the tire assembly when inflating. Use a clip-on chuck and extension hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side.

Replacing Skid Shoes

The skid shoes on the bottom of the snow blower are subject to wear. They should be checked periodically and replaced when necessary.

To replace skid shoes:

1. Position unit on a hard, flat, smooth level surface.

2. Using the 13 mm open end wrench, remove the 4 hex nuts (2 on each side), washers and bolts which secure the skid shoes to the snow blower (Fig. 28).

3. Install the new skid shoes by tightening the 4 sets of hex nuts, washers and bolts on both sides, but leave the skid shoes free to move for height adjustment.

4. Slide skid shoes to flat surface. Allow 1/8 in. (3 mm) between scraper blade and hard smooth surface. Allow 1-1/4 in. (30 mm) between scraper blade and uneven or gravel surfaces.

NOTE: Keep housing level by adjusting skid shoes equally. 5. Retighten the 4 sets of hex nuts and bolts on both sides.

Replacing Scraper Blade

IMPORTANT! Damage to auger/impeller housing will result if the scraper blade wears down too far.

To replace scraper blade:

1. Position the unit on a hard, flat, smooth level surface.

2. Detach the worn scraper blade from the snow blower by removing the 5 hex nuts and bolts that hold it in place (Fig. 29).

3. Install the new scraper blade and fasten it securely to the snow blower with 5 hex nuts and bolts.

Replacing Shear Bolts

The auger is secured to the auger shaft with shear bolts and nuts. If the auger should strike a foreign object or ice jam, the snow blower is designed so that the bolts may shear. If the auger will not turn, check to see if the bolts have sheared.

CAUTION! Use only manufacturer's recommended shear bolts for replacement. Use of any other type of shear bolts may result in severe damage to unit and may void the warranty. Call the Snow Joe ® + Sun Joe ® customer service center at 1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563) for assistance.

Occasionally a foreign object may enter the auger/impeller housing and jam the auger, breaking the shear bolts which secure the auger to the shaft. This allows the auger to turn freely on the shaft which may help prevent damage to the gearcase and its components.

WARNING! Always turn off the snow blower’s motor and remove the batteries prior to replacing shear bolts.

1. Align shear bolt holes in auger with shear bolt holes in the shaft.

2. Drive shear bolt through hole. If shear bolt was broken this will drive remaining part from shaft (Fig. 30).

3. Secure shear bolts with the nuts, with the 10 mm end of either open end wrench (Fig. 30).

Replacing Auger Blades

1. Disassemble the auger and impeller assembly by removing the bolts from the sides of the auger housing with the 12 mm open end wrench (Fig. 31), and pull out the auger and impeller assembly (Fig. 32).

2. Using the 12 mm open end wrench, remove the bolts that used to secure the auger bearings, then remove the auger bearings on both sides (Fig. 33).

3. Remove 2 set of shear bolts and nuts from the auger blades with the 12 mm end of either open end wrench. The auger blades should be able to be removed from the auger shaft (Figs. 34 – 35).

4. Install the replacement auger blades by following the above steps in reverse order.

Replacing Impeller

1. To remove the impeller, disassemble the auger and impeller assembly by removing the bolts from the sides of the auger housing with the 12 mm open end wrench (Fig. 31), and pull out the auger and impeller assembly (Fig. 32).

2. Disassemble the worn impeller from the impeller shaft by removing the 2 spring pins (Fig. 36).

3. Install the replacement impeller by following the above steps in reverse order.

Lubrication

Auger Shaft

At least once a season, remove the shear bolts from the auger shafts. Spray lubricant inside the shaft and around the bearings at each end of the shaft.

Auger Gearcase

Gearcases are filled to the correct level at the factory. Within first 150 hours of running, no additional lubricant should be required unless there is evidence of leakage.

Any work on the inside structure of auger requires specific experience and special tools. For safety purposes, we recommend you contact an authorized Snow Joe ® + Sun Joe® dealer or call the Snow Joe ® + Sun Joe ® customer service center at 1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563).

To fill the gearcase, follow the instruction below every 150 to 200 hours operation:

1. Remove the fill plug with the 10 mm end of either open end wrench. Inject some general low-temperature synthetic grease to filler hole. Replace plug. (Fig. 37).

IMPORTANT! Wipe each fitting clean before and after lubrication. Do not wipe gearcase filler plug; wiping the gearcase filler plug may remove thread sealant and cause leaks.

Storage

1. Examine the cordless snow blower thoroughly for worn, loose or damaged parts. Should you need to repair or replace a part, contact an authorized Snow Joe ® + Sun Joe ® dealer or call the Snow Joe ® + Sun Joe® customer service center at 1-866-SNOWJOE (1-866-766-9563) for assistance.
