Maintenance Tips
- Inspect the auger and impeller regularly: Check for wear, damage, or bending. Replace worn paddles and ensure the impeller is free from obstructions.
- Check and replace shear pins as needed: Shear pins protect the auger gearbox from damage. Replace them immediately if broken. Always use the correct shear pin specified for your model.
- Perform regular oil changes: Change the engine oil at least once a year or more frequently if used heavily. Using the correct type and viscosity of oil is critical.
- Use fuel stabilizer during off-season storage: Add fuel stabilizer to prevent fuel from degrading and causing carburetor problems. Drain the carburetor bowl before long-term storage.
