Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for damage or wear. Replace any worn or damaged parts to maintain optimal snow throwing performance.
- Shear Pin Replacement: Always keep a supply of replacement shear pins on hand. These pins are designed to break when the auger encounters a hard object, preventing damage to the drive system. Replace broken shear pins immediately.
- Oil Changes and Fuel Stabilizer: Change the engine oil at the recommended intervals (typically annually). Add fuel stabilizer to the fuel tank before storing the snow blower for the off-season to prevent fuel degradation and carburetor issues.
- Skid Shoe Adjustment: Adjust the skid shoes to the proper height for your surface type (paved or gravel). This prevents damage to the surface and ensures efficient snow removal.
