How to maintain Snow Rakes

Snow rakes are used to remove snow and ice from driveways, sidewalks, and walkways. They are most effective when used on packed snow, but can be used on wet, powdery snow. Snow rakes can also effectively remove ice from sidewalks.

• Keep the blades sharp, clean, and free from rust.
• Avoid hitting the ice with the tines.
• Avoid hitting the asphalt, concrete, or mulched areas with the blades.
•  Avoid using the rake if it was raining or snowing when you started using the rake.
• Periodically check the outer wheels for signs of wear.
• Store your snow rakes out of direct sunlight.
