Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for any signs of wear, damage, or bending. Replace damaged parts promptly to maintain optimal performance.
- Replace Shear Pins: Always have spare shear pins on hand. If the auger suddenly stops turning, it's likely a shear pin has broken to protect the engine and gearbox. Replace the broken pin with a new one that matches the manufacturer's specifications.
- Fuel Stabilizer: Add fuel stabilizer to the gas tank before storing the snow blower for the off-season. This prevents fuel from degrading and causing starting problems when you need it next winter.
