Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for any signs of wear, damage, or bending. Replace worn or damaged parts promptly to maintain optimal snow-throwing performance.
- Check and Replace Shear Pins: Shear pins protect the auger from damage if it encounters a solid object. Inspect them regularly and replace any broken or sheared pins with the correct replacement part.
- Use Fuel Stabilizer: Add fuel stabilizer to the gasoline 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 for your surface (pavement or gravel) to prevent damage to the snow blower and the clearing surface.
