Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for damage or wear. Replace worn or damaged parts promptly to maintain optimal performance.
- Shear Pin Replacement: Keep spare shear pins on hand. If the auger stops suddenly, check the shear pins and replace any that are broken. Using the correct shear pin is crucial to protect the machine.
- Fuel System Maintenance: Add fuel stabilizer to the gasoline before storing the snow blower for the off-season. This prevents fuel deterioration and keeps the carburetor clean. Consider draining the fuel completely.
