Maintenance Tips

Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for signs of wear, damage, or bending. Replace damaged components promptly to maintain optimal snow-throwing performance.
Check and Replace Shear Pins: Inspect shear pins regularly, especially after hitting a hard object. Replace any broken or sheared pins with the correct replacement to protect the auger and gearbox.
Adjust Skid Shoes: Adjust the skid shoes according to the surface you're clearing. Raise them for gravel or uneven surfaces and lower them for paved driveways to prevent damage to the scraper bar.
Use Fuel Stabilizer: Add fuel stabilizer to the fuel tank before storing the snow blower for the off-season to prevent fuel degradation and carburetor issues.
