Canadiana electric snowblower snow clearing tips
- To avoid running over the power cord, start at the top corner of your driveway and clear 5-foot sections across the driveway. Continue clearing additional sections until you reach the end of the driveway.
- You can also follow a diagonal clearing pattern to avoid cord damage. Start in the middle of the driveway and clear snow diagonally to the edge of the driveway. Pull straight back and clear snow diagonally on the opposite side of the driveway. Repeat until you reach the end of the driveway.
- One other method of clearing snow without damaging the power cord is to use a mid-point clearing pattern. Start by clearing a row down the center of your driveway until you reach the edge. Work your way back to the top of the driveway by clearing from the center to each edge of the driveway until you reach the top.
Troubleshooting your Canadiana electric snowblower when it won't throw snow far enough
If your snowblower isn't clearing pavement well, first turn off the snowblower and clear any snow that's built up in the chute. A clogged chute won't throw snow very far.
If the discharge chute isn't clogged, check the augers and auger drive system. A damaged auger blade can't push snow through the shoot, and broken shear pins keep sections of the auger from spinning.
A weak drive motor may lack the power to throw snow through the chute. Replace the drive motor if it isn't running properly
