Maintenance Tips
- Regularly inspect the auger and impeller for damage or wear. Replace worn auger paddles or a damaged impeller to maintain optimal snow throwing performance.
- Check shear pins frequently and replace them immediately if broken. Use only the correct replacement shear pins to prevent damage to the auger gearbox.
- Ensure proper belt tension for both the auger and drive systems. Loose belts can lead to reduced performance and premature wear. Adjust or replace belts as needed.
- Change the engine oil annually. Regular oil changes are crucial for maintaining engine performance and longevity. Use the recommended oil type and viscosity. Consider adding fuel stabilizer to the gas tank before the off-season to prevent fuel breakdown.
