Maintenance Tips
- Inspect the auger and impeller regularly: Check for wear and damage, ensuring they are free from obstructions like rocks or ice. Replace worn parts promptly.
- Check and replace shear pins: Shear pins protect the auger gearbox from damage if a hard object is encountered. Always have spare shear pins on hand and replace them as needed.
- Adjust belt tension: Proper belt tension ensures efficient power transfer from the engine to the auger and drive system. Refer to the owner's manual for instructions on how to adjust belt tension correctly.
- Use fuel stabilizer: Add fuel stabilizer to the gasoline before storing the snow thrower for the off-season to prevent fuel degradation and carburetor issues.
