Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for damage or wear. Replace any worn or damaged parts to maintain optimal snow throwing performance.
Check and Replace Shear Pins: Inspect shear pins before each use and replace them immediately if broken. Using the correct shear pins is crucial to protect the auger gearbox.
Fuel Stabilizer: Add fuel stabilizer to the gas tank before storing the snow blower for the off-season. This prevents fuel degradation and ensures easy starting next winter.
Adjust Skid Shoes: Adjust the skid shoes to the appropriate height based on your surface. This prevents damage to the snow blower and your driveway.
