Maintenance Tips
- Inspect the auger and impeller regularly for any signs of damage or wear. Replace worn parts to maintain optimal performance.
- Check and replace shear pins as needed. These protect the auger gearbox from damage if the auger encounters a hard object.
- Maintain proper belt tension for both the auger and drive systems. Loose belts can reduce throwing distance and traction.
