Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for damage or wear. Replace worn parts to maintain optimal snow throwing performance.
- Replace Shear Pins: Keep extra shear pins on hand and replace them immediately if broken. Shear pins protect the auger gearbox from damage if it encounters a hard object.
- Use 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 season.
- Check and Adjust Skid Shoes: Adjust the skid shoes according to the surface you are clearing (pavement vs. gravel). Proper adjustment prevents damage to the snow blower and the surface being cleared.
