WARNING!
To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug
the charger and remove the battery packs 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

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.

6. Maintain safety and instruction labels, as necessary.
7. Always refer to the Battery + Charger Off-Season Storage
section for important details if the snow thrower is to be
stored for an extended period.
Battery + Charger Off-Season Storage
1. Do not expose your battery packs or charger to water,
rain or allow them to get wet. This could permanently
damage the charger and the battery packs. Do not use oil
or solvents to clean or lubricate your battery packs as the
plastic casing can become brittle and crack, causing a
serious risk of injury.
2. Store the battery packs and charger at room temperature
away from moisture. Do not store in damp locations where
corrosion of terminals may occur. As with other battery
pack types, permanent capacity loss can result if the pack
is stored for long periods of time at high temperatures
(over 120ºF/49ºC).
3. iON+ 24V lithium-ion battery packs maintain their charge
during storage longer than other battery pack types. As a
general practice, it is best to unplug the battery charger
and remove the battery packs when they are not in use.
Recharge the battery packs every 6 months to 50%
capacity (2 lights on) during off-season storage to maintain
optimal battery performance.
