Maintenance Tips
- Regularly inspect the auger and impeller for any signs of wear, damage, or bending. Replace worn parts promptly to maintain optimal performance.
- Always use the correct shear pins specified for the 921315. Using incorrect shear pins can damage the gearbox. Replace broken shear pins immediately after they break.
- Check the belt tension regularly and adjust as needed. Loose belts can slip and reduce throwing distance. Replace belts when they show signs of wear or cracking.
- Before storing the snow blower for the off-season, drain the fuel or add fuel stabilizer. This prevents fuel degradation and carburetor issues. Change the oil annually for optimal engine performance.
