The Snow Joe SJ623E is an 18-inch, 15-amp electric snow thrower designed for clearing snow from paved surfaces. It is a walk-behind unit, emphasizing user control and safety during operation. The device is intended for outdoor, all-weather use and requires a UL-, CSA-, or ETL-rated extension cord for safe and efficient power delivery.
The primary function of the Snow Joe SJ623E is to remove snow by means of a rotating auger with rubber-tipped steel plates. The snow is collected and then discharged through an adjustable chute, allowing the operator to control the direction and height of the snow stream. This prevents snow from being thrown at the operator, bystanders, vehicles, or windows. The unit is designed to operate at a certain rate for various snow conditions, and users are advised not to force it, but rather to maintain constant pressure. An LED light is integrated into the design to illuminate the path during dark operating conditions, enhancing visibility and safety. The snow thrower features a built-in automatic reset function that activates if the auger movement is halted by a major obstruction. In such cases, the user needs to unplug the unit, clear the obstruction, wait 60 seconds, and then resume operation.
Before operating the snow thrower, users must perform a preliminary area inspection to remove any foreign objects like rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or string that could be thrown by the rotor blades or become entangled. The unit is started by first depressing and holding the safety switch button, then pulling the ON/OFF switch lever. Once the machine powers on, the safety switch button can be released. The machine can only be started by this specific sequence; reverse operation will not initiate the machine. When moving the snow thrower, users can tilt it slightly on its wheels to use them as a pivot point, facilitating forward or backward movement. It is recommended to start clearing paths near the electrical outlet and work outward in a back-and-forth motion, overlapping clearing paths to ensure complete coverage. Users should also consider wind direction to avoid throwing snow against the wind and back onto themselves or already cleared areas. The discharge chute can be adjusted 180 degrees by rotating the chute crank, allowing for precise control over where the snow is thrown. The chute deflector on top of the discharge chute further controls the height of the snow stream, which can be raised or lowered by loosening and tightening a knob. The snow thrower is designed for use on paved surfaces and should not be used on gravel, stone, or other unpaved surfaces unless adjusted according to the manual's instructions to prevent throwing loose surface material.
Regular maintenance is crucial for the safety and longevity of the Snow Joe SJ623E. Users should frequently check all bolts and screws for proper tightness to ensure the equipment is in safe working condition. After each snow removal session, it is recommended to run the snow thrower for a few minutes to prevent the collector/impeller from freezing. Following this, the motor should be shut off, and all revolving parts allowed to stop completely. Any residual ice and snow should be wiped off the unit. Rotating the chute crank several times will help remove any excess snow. The snow thrower is factory-lubricated for lifetime use, and additional lubrication is not necessary and may even damage the unit. Before performing any maintenance task, the power switch must be turned off, and the extension cord disconnected to prevent accidental starting. If the snow thrower strikes an object, it must be immediately stopped, inspected for damage, and any damage repaired before restarting. Similarly, if the unit runs unstably or produces abnormal sounds, it should be stopped, disconnected from power, and inspected. Any damaged main power or extension cables should be immediately unplugged and repaired or replaced. When replacing parts, only original replacement parts designed specifically for the model should be used, with particular attention to rubber parts, as their condition can affect engine load and mechanical power. The unit should be stored indoors in a dry, locked area, out of reach of children and unauthorized users, and disconnected from the power source. Covering the unit with a tarp or a specific snow thrower cover is recommended for added protection during storage.
