Maintenance Tips
- Regularly inspect the auger and impeller for damage and wear. Replace worn or damaged parts promptly to maintain optimal performance.
- Always use the correct shear pins and replace them immediately if they break to prevent damage to the auger gearbox.
- Check and adjust the belt tension regularly. Loose belts can cause slippage and reduce the snow blower's throwing power.
- Change the engine oil according to the manufacturer's recommendations (usually every 25-50 hours of use). Use fuel stabilizer during off-season storage to prevent fuel degradation and carburetor issues. Adjust skid shoes to match the surface being cleared, preventing damage to both the snow blower and the ground.
