What does an electric shovel have in common with an ordinary shovel?
In terms of appearance, there is almost nothing in common between a conventional snow shovel and an electric unit, short of a long telescopic handle( this option is also found in a manual scoop) that allows you to work without leaning too far. Otherwise. ..
It is rather difficult to find a shovel shovel, the working part of which is not a plane, but an auger that can be replaced with a brush for cleaning tile tracks from dirt and dust in the summer. The auger, to some extent, can be considered a derivative of the working plane of the shovel, in any case, it has the same function - throwing snow aside, but here the productivity of automation is incomparable with muscular strength.
A shovel with an electric motor is able to throw snow from your road for a distance of up to 10 meters, and the cleaning speed is 136 kg / min .Agree, even the strongest and agile person is not able to give such a result.
What are the characteristics of an electroscope?
Electric snowplow, it's almost a motorbike, only a highly specialized one. If the site you have small, it is better to take a full-function unit with various additional devices, or choose a simpler and cheaper option. So, if the snow-scooter weighs in itself from 11 to 16 kilograms and is able to remove snow up to 350 kg / min, a shovel with an electric motor has a mass of only 6-7 kilograms. In other words, pay attention to the weight, since the electro-lopat belongs to the non-self-propelled type of snow-removing machines.
The maximum thickness of the snow cover, with which the shovel on the electric motor can cope, rarely exceeds 10 centimeters.
An important factor in the choice is the capacity of the unit, both its performance and power consumption depend on it. The range is different, from 800 to 1800 watts. Try to choose the golden mean, because a too low-power tool can not cope with the task, and the extra horsepower you need to do, if you, of course, do not have free electricity from your own windmill.
And be sure to pay attention to how much snow is thrown away, the bigger it is, the better. Also, do not forget to choose a tool with the optimal working width, it can be in the range of 30-35 centimeters.
How to use an electroscope?
As weekdays we begin with breakfast( at least in the majority), and the work of the electro-lopat is based on the power supply, which is the source of the usual electrical outlet for 220 volts, which is available both in the house and in the garage. The main thing is that the voltage should be constant, otherwise, with frequent changes from 170 to 250 volts, the technician quickly fails. If you have a stabilizer or a transformer, use these devices to protect your electrical assistant from damage.
With a socket, an electroopath is connected by a wire, which usually has a rather long length. But if it still does not suffice, use an extension cord, but always isolate the sockets from snow or moisture in them in any other state. The audio threshold of the electric motor is usually 85 dB, so it's better to work on headphones, it's also good to put on glasses or a transparent shield, especially when cleaning the tracks from sand and dust .And, most importantly, try to stay away from the moving parts of the unit.
