Maintenance Tips
- Regularly inspect the auger and impeller for damage: Look for bent or broken paddles/flights. Replace damaged parts immediately to maintain optimal performance.
- Check and replace shear pins as needed: Shear pins protect the auger gearbox from damage if the auger encounters a solid object. Keep extra shear pins on hand.
- Change the engine oil annually: Refer to the engine manufacturer's recommendations for the correct oil type and viscosity.
- Use fuel stabilizer during off-season storage: This will prevent fuel from degrading and gumming up the carburetor. Drain the fuel or add stabilizer before storing.
