Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for wear, damage, or bending. Replace any damaged parts immediately to maintain optimal snow throwing performance.
- Check and Replace Shear Pins: The shear pins protect the auger gearbox from damage. Inspect them frequently and replace them with the correct type if they are broken. Using the wrong shear pins can cause serious damage to your snow blower.
- Fuel Stabilizer and Oil Changes: Add fuel stabilizer to the gas tank before storing the snow blower for the off-season to prevent fuel degradation. Change the engine oil annually, or more frequently if you use the snow blower heavily.
- Adjust Skid Shoes: Periodically adjust the skid shoes to ensure proper clearing height and prevent damage to the auger housing and the surface you are clearing. Adjust them higher for gravel driveways and lower for paved surfaces.
