- Check and replace shear pins as needed. These protect the auger and gearbox from damage if the auger encounters a hard object. Keep extra shear pins on hand.
- Inspect belt tension periodically. Loose belts can reduce throwing distance and overall performance. Adjust or replace belts as necessary.
