Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for signs of wear, damage, or bending. Replace worn or damaged components promptly to maintain optimal performance.
- Check and Replace Shear Pins: Shear pins protect the auger from damage if it encounters a hard object. Always keep spare shear pins on hand and replace them immediately if they break.
- Fuel Stabilizer: Add fuel stabilizer to the gas tank before storing the snow blower for the off-season. This will prevent fuel from degrading and causing starting problems in the future.
- Oil Changes: Change the engine oil at least once a year, or more frequently if you use the snow blower extensively. Refer to the owner's manual for the correct oil type and change procedure.
