Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check for signs of wear, damage, or bending. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately to maintain optimal performance.
- Shear Pins: Always have extra shear pins on hand. Replace them immediately if the auger stops abruptly while operating, as this indicates a broken shear pin.
- Belt Tension: Ensure proper belt tension for the auger and impeller. Loose belts can lead to reduced performance and premature wear.
- 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.
- Skid Shoe Adjustment: Regularly adjust the skid shoes to prevent the scraper bar from scraping the ground, especially on uneven surfaces. Adjusting too high will leave snow behind.
