Maintenance Tips
- Auger and Impeller Inspection: Regularly inspect the auger blades and impeller for damage or wear. Replace any damaged parts immediately to maintain optimal snow removal performance.
- Shear Pin Replacement: Always have spare shear pins on hand. If the auger stops suddenly while in operation, check the shear pins and replace any that are broken to prevent damage to the gearbox.
- Fuel Stabilizer: Add fuel stabilizer to the gasoline before storing the snow blower for the off-season. This prevents fuel degradation and ensures easy starting when winter returns.
- Skid Shoe Adjustment: Adjust the skid shoes according to the surface you're clearing (pavement, gravel). Higher settings are ideal for gravel to prevent the auger housing from scraping the surface.
