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 components to maintain optimal performance.
- Check and Replace Shear Pins: Shear pins protect the auger gearbox from damage if the auger encounters a hard object. Always have spare shear pins on hand and replace them immediately if broken.
- Use Fuel Stabilizer: Add fuel stabilizer to the gas tank before storing the snow blower for the off-season. This prevents fuel degradation and carburetor issues.
- Adjust Skid Shoes: Adjust the skid shoes according to the surface you are clearing. Raise them for gravel driveways and lower them for paved surfaces to protect the scraper blade and prevent damage to the machine.
