- Always use the correct shear pins and replace them immediately if broken to protect the auger gearbox from damage.
- Check belt tension periodically and adjust as needed to ensure proper power transfer to the auger and drive system.
- Change the engine oil at the recommended intervals (typically annually) to prolong engine life. Use fuel stabilizer during off-season storage to prevent fuel degradation.
