Grip the handle with each hand at the widest, most comfortable positions on the bar. ... 

Push your Wovel forward quickly; the faster you walk, the more efficient the Wovel action.... 

If you’re not going to make piles of snow (for example, during a light snow or on your first pass), use the Wovel like a snow plow by walking quickly then stopping abruptly, causing the snow to release from the Wovel blade.... 

To more effectively throw snow into piles, point the Wovel in direction that you want to throw the snow, and then rapidly snap the handle downward at the end of your final stride. ... 

In heavy snow or to throw snow higher and farther, take a larger, lunging step while pushing with greater, quicker downward force on the handle. ... 

Experiment to find the most effective technique based on your body build and the various snow conditions. ... 

The Wovel is NOT designed to be tipped entirely to one side for snow release. Instead, the Wovel should always be kept upright, stepping and angling it a little towards the side that you want to throw the snow. ... 

Unless you are throwing snow onto an already high snow pile, you will only need to lift the blade up slightly as you release the snow with an abrupt stop.... 

Don't press your entire body weight onto the handle to lift or move objects (other than loose snow). Doing so could damage the Wovel frame or its lower body assembly plate.... 

Don't try to pick up and throw slush. Use the Wovel as a plow by filling the Wovel blade, pushing it to where you want to deposit the snow, and then stopping abruptly to release the slush.... 

To clear to the pavement I lift the wheel off the ground, shifting the weight to the scoop's leading edge, and the snow was cleared right down to the blacktop. At the end of each run, while still moving forward, I lowered the Wovel so the wheel was on the surface and flipped the the snow from the scoop. My "discovery" was that lifting the wheel of the Wovel greatly improved its performance under conditions that are common enough in the winter and still allowed the flip-and-empty move which obviates any heavy lifting.... 

Hi Wovel Folk! Just a quick tip when"Wovelling" and you run across "sticky snow" Give the shovel blade a quick spray of Silicone! and the snow will quite literally slide off! Thanks!... 

First, thank you so much for taking an active hand in getting my wovel shipped to me. Second, that wovel is truly wonderful. It clears snow like nobody's business, whether the fluffy stuff or the slushy kind. It's even fun to use! Just wanted to say thanks, and good luck with your soon-to-be-completed new (and self-operated!) warehouse. Oliver H... 

It's great on uneven ground, I use it to shovel a path to our bird feeders,in deep snow I only bite into it about half way & move the snow to where I want to throw it & go back & get the rest to grass level. The big wheel works great going through deeper snow. Gets looks when I'm doing the front walk, wife likes using it too.Easier than regular shovel. Lets you roll snow where you want to throw it instead of carrying it. "OUTSTANDING PRODUCT"... 

Outstanding product. THANK YOU !!... 

Not only does the Wovel move snow, it is also very efficient in moving piles of leaves in the fall. It reduced my leaf clean up time by half this year.... 

It is important to completely tighten all fasteners and nuts during assembly.... 

The wheel should be hand-tightened very firmly to prevent it from coming off unexpectedly.... 

I just put my new Wovel together, and I had a suggestion. The "Video Guide" suggests using your hands to put the tire onto the wheel. I had a problem with this and ended up using the floor and my foot. I attached the tire as recommended and then turned it upside-down so that the attached end was on the carpet. I put one foot on the tire and rolled the wheel onto the tire, while applying tension. I found this much easier than the method demonstrated on the video. ... 

All the stretching and laying of the rubber onto the wheel, without gloves, will make your hands smell bad for a day or two. Instead, I recommend wearing a thin glove to stave off the smell and grime that accumulate on your hands.... 

For temporary storage, you can place the blade on the ground, like you are going to start Woveling, and push the blade into and under a snow pile. The weight of the snow will keep the Wovel in the upright position. This works well if you are just taking a break from Woveling, or are in between snowfalls.... 

For off-season storage, you can break the Wovel down by removing the handle section. To further break down the Wovel, you can remove the Wovel blade. We DO NOT recommend breaking down the frame once assembled.... 

It is recommended that you store the Wovel indoors for long-term storage. This will help avoid unnecessary rusting of the frame. Rusting could make it difficult to disassemble the metal frame, if you choose to do so. ... 

The Wovel is virtually maintenance-free because the painted surfaces are high-temperature baked. Small scratches or chips in the paint will not harm the Wovel. ... 

The wheel, tire, and shovel blade won’t be harmed by rain or other elements.... 

The blade is designed to flex, both to lessen the impact of hitting hidden objects like curbs, and to reduce wear as it scrapes the ground. But the shovel blade will eventually wear out over time, although you should be able to count on your blade lasting several seasons, at least.... 

Extend the life of your Wovel blade by adding the optional Wear Strip accessory, which attaches under the front edge of the Wovel blade to provide greater protection....
