Maintenance Tips
- Inspect the auger and impeller regularly: Look for signs of wear or damage, and ensure they are free from obstructions.
- Replace shear pins as needed: Shear pins are designed to break if the auger encounters a hard object, protecting the engine and transmission. Keep spare shear pins on hand.
- Use fuel stabilizer during off-season storage: Add fuel stabilizer to the gas tank before storing the snow blower to prevent fuel from deteriorating and clogging the carburetor.
