- Shear Pin Replacement: Always keep extra shear pins on hand. Replace broken shear pins immediately to prevent damage to the auger gearbox.
- Fuel Stabilization: Add fuel stabilizer to the gasoline before storing the snow blower for the off-season. This prevents fuel degradation and ensures easy starting next season.
