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
dealer or call the Snow Joe
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. 35).

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.

4. Store the cordless snow blower indoors in a locked, dry
place out of the reach of children to prevent unauthorized
use or damage.
Battery + Charger Off-Season Storage
1. Do not expose your battery packs or chargers to water,
rain or allow them to get wet. This could permanently
damage the chargers 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 chargers 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. 24V 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 chargers
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.
Battery Caution +
Disposal Information
Always dispose of your battery packs according to federal,
state, and local regulations. Contact a recycling agency in your
area for recycling locations.
m
CAUTION!
Even discharged battery packs contain
some energy. Before disposing, use electrical tape to cover
the terminals to prevent the battery packs from shorting, which
could cause a fire or explosion.
m
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of injury or explosion,
never burn or incinerate a battery pack even if it is damaged,
dead or completely discharged. When burned, toxic fumes
and materials are emitted into the surrounding atmosphere.
