Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for wear, damage, or bending. Replace worn or damaged parts promptly.
- Check and Replace Shear Pins: Shear pins protect the auger and gearbox from damage. Inspect them before each use and replace any broken pins with the correct type.
- 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 prevent the scraper bar from scraping the ground, especially on uneven surfaces.
