Servicing
Ensure that all mounting components (i.e. screws, bolts,
nuts etc.) are always tightened so that the equipment can
be safely operated at all times.
Frequently inspect the grass bag assembly for signs of
wear and replace immediately with a genuine Snow Joe
®
+ Sun Joe
®
part if damage is found.
Replace excessively worn or damaged parts immediately.
To maximize your mower's longevity, all screwed parts,
including the wheels and axles, should be cleaned and
lubricated.
There are no parts inside the equipment which require
additional maintenance or lubrication.
Replacing the Mower Blade
NOTE: The mower blade is sharp and can cause severe
personal injury if handled incorrectly. Wrap the blade or wear
protective gloves, and use extra caution when servicing.
The cutting components are subjected to more wear and
tear than any other components of the unit. Therefore,
routinely check the condition of the blade and make sure
that it is tightly fastened. If the blade is completely worn, it
must be immediately replaced or resharpened.
An excessively vibrating mower means that the blade
is not properly balanced or has become deformed from
striking an object. In this case, the blade must be repaired
or replaced.
For safety reasons, we recommend having the blade
replaced or resharpened by an authorized Snow Joe

service center.
Ordering Replacement Parts
When servicing the mower, use only genuine replacement
parts that are available from the manufacturer. In order to
obtain replacement parts, visit our website at snowjoe.com or
call our toll-free customer service helpline at 1-866-SNOWJOE
(1-866-766-9563). The use of parts that do not meet the
original equipment specications may lead to improper
performance of the lawn mower, may compromise operator
safety and will void the manufacturer's warranty.
Storage
1. Remove the battery and the safety key from the lawn
mower.
2. Clean the lawn mower as described in the cleaning
section.
3. Inspect the mower carefully for worn, loose or damaged
parts. Check connections and screws and tighten if
necessary. Pay special attention to the mower blade and
replace/sharpen if it shows signs of wear.
4. Store the mower indoors in a dry, clean and cool area
out of the reach of children. Do not store the unit next to
corrosive materials, such as fertilizer and rock salt.
5. Do not cover the lawn mower with a solid plastic sheet .
Plastic coverings trap moisture around the mower, which
can damage the unit.
