Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for damage or wear. Replace worn or damaged parts to maintain optimal snow throwing performance.
- Check and Replace Shear Pins: Inspect shear pins before each use. These protect the auger and gearbox from damage if a hard object is encountered. Replace broken shear pins immediately.
