The YARD FORCE Snow Shovel is designed to reduce physical strain during snow removal by utilizing a patented lever principle.

4.1 Basic Snow Shoveling Technique

• Pozicioniranje: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Place the shovel blade into the snow.
• Lever Action: Use the auxiliary handle to leverage the snow. Instead of lifting with your back, pull the auxiliary handle towards your body while pushing down on the main handle. This action uses your body's natural leverage to lift and throw snow with minimal effort.
• Throwing Snow: Once the snow is lifted, pivot your body and use the momentum from the lever action to throw the snow to your desired location. Avoid twisting your back.
• Small Loads: For heavy or wet snow, take smaller loads to maximize efficiency and minimize strain.
