- Check and replace shear pins as needed. These pins protect the auger and gearbox from damage if the auger encounters a hard object. Keep extra shear pins on hand.
- Inspect belt tension and condition. Loose or worn belts can reduce throwing distance and overall performance. Replace belts when cracked or worn.
- Change the engine oil annually or every 25 hours of use. Use the recommended oil type and follow the manufacturer's instructions. Add fuel stabilizer to the gas tank before off-season storage to prevent fuel degradation.
