Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for wear, damage, or obstructions. Replace worn or damaged parts promptly to maintain optimal performance.
- Check and Replace Shear Pins: Shear pins are designed to break if the auger encounters a hard object, protecting the engine. Inspect them regularly and replace any that are broken or damaged.
- Use Fuel Stabilizer: Before storing the snow blower for the off-season, add fuel stabilizer to the gas tank to prevent fuel degradation and carburetor issues.
- Adjust Skid Shoes: Adjust the skid shoes to the proper height for your driveway surface. This will prevent damage to the scraper bar and ensure smooth operation.
