Maintenance Tips
- Inspect the auger and impeller regularly: Look for any signs of wear, damage, or bending. Replace damaged parts immediately to prevent further damage.
- Check and replace shear pins: Shear pins protect the auger gearbox from damage if a solid object is ingested. Replace any broken shear pins with the correct type for your model.
- 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: Properly adjusted skid shoes prevent the scraper bar from dragging on the ground and wearing prematurely. Adjust them according to the manufacturer's instructions.
