Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for wear, damage, or obstructions. Replace worn or damaged parts promptly.
- Check and Replace Shear Pins: Shear pins protect the auger and gearbox from damage if the auger encounters a hard object. Always have spare shear pins on hand.
- Use Fuel Stabilizer: Add fuel stabilizer to the gasoline, especially before storing the snow blower for the off-season, to prevent fuel degradation and carburetor issues.
- Adjust Skid Shoes: Adjust the skid shoes to ensure proper clearance between the scraper blade and the ground, preventing damage to the scraper blade and the surface being cleared.
