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 performance.
- Check and Replace Shear Pins: Shear pins protect the auger and gearbox from damage caused by hard objects. Inspect them regularly and replace them immediately if broken or sheared. Use only the correct shear pins specified by the manufacturer.
- Use Fuel Stabilizer: Add fuel stabilizer to the gas tank before storing the snow blower for the off-season to prevent fuel degradation and ensure easy starting next winter.
- Adjust Skid Shoes: Adjust the skid shoes according to the surface you're clearing. Raise them for gravel or uneven surfaces to prevent damage to the blower and lower them for paved surfaces for a cleaner snow removal.
