Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for 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. Inspect them regularly and replace them immediately if broken to prevent costly repairs.
- 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: Adjust the skid shoes according to the surface you're clearing. Raise them for gravel driveways to avoid picking up stones and lower them for paved surfaces for a cleaner clearing.
