Maintenance Tips
- Belt Inspection and Replacement: Regularly inspect the auger and drive belts for wear and tear. Replace belts every 2-3 years, or more frequently if signs of cracking or slippage are present.
- Auger Blade Sharpening and Replacement: Sharpen or replace worn auger blades to maintain optimal snow clearing performance. Check for damage and replace as needed.
- Engine Oil and Filter Changes: Follow the manufacturer's recommended oil change intervals (typically every 25-50 hours of use) to ensure proper engine lubrication. Replace the oil filter at the same time.
- Seasonal Storage: Before storing the snow blower for the off-season, drain the fuel tank or add a fuel stabilizer to prevent fuel degradation. Change engine oil, grease friction disc, and apply rust inhibitor to the auger housing.
