Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for signs of wear, damage, or bending. Replace worn parts promptly to maintain optimal snow removal performance.
- Check and Replace Shear Pins: Shear pins protect the auger gearbox from damage. Always have spare shear pins on hand and replace them immediately if they break.
- Use Fuel Stabilizer: Add fuel stabilizer to the gas tank before storing the snow blower for the off-season to prevent fuel degradation and carburetor issues.
- Adjust Skid Shoes: Adjust the skid shoes to the appropriate height based on the surface you are clearing to prevent damage to the snow blower and the surface.
