2. Check bolts and screws at frequent intervals for proper
tightness to ensure that the equipment is in safe working
condition.
3. After each snow removal session, run the snow blower
for a few minutes to prevent the collector/impeller from
freezing. Shut off the motor, wait for all revolving parts to
stop completely, and wipe residual ice and snow off the
unit. Rotate the chute deflector by the chute control crank
several times to remove any excess snow.
Proper Care for Batteries + Charger
m
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.
4. The 24V iON+ lithium-ion battery charger has no
serviceable parts.
Maintenance + Storage
1. Run the machine a few minutes after throwing snow to
prevent the auger from freezing.

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. 24V iON+ 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.
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 battery packs even if it is damaged,
dead or completely discharged. When burned, toxic fumes and
materials are emitted into the surrounding atmosphere.

shorten the life of the batteries or cause batteries to leak.
4. Do not mix old and new batteries.
5. Do not mix Alkaline, Standard (Carbon-Zinc) or
Rechargeable (Nickel Cadmium, Nickel Metal Hydride,
or Lithium-Ion) batteries.
