Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for wear, damage, or bending. Replace worn or damaged parts promptly to maintain optimal performance.
- Check and Replace Shear Pins: Shear pins protect the auger and gearbox from damage if the auger encounters a solid object. Regularly inspect and replace shear pins as needed using only the manufacturer's recommended pins.
- Use Fuel Stabilizer: Add fuel stabilizer to the gas tank before storing the snow blower for the off-season. This prevents fuel degradation and carburetor issues.
- Adjust Skid Shoes: Adjust the skid shoes to prevent damage to the scraper blade and auger housing, and to provide the optimum height over your surface.
