Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger and impeller for any signs of damage or wear. Replace any worn or broken parts to ensure optimal performance.
- Check and Replace Shear Pins: Shear pins protect the auger from damage if it encounters a hard object. Inspect them frequently and replace any that are broken. Keep spare shear pins on hand.
- Fuel Stabilizer for Storage: Before storing the snow blower for the off-season, add fuel stabilizer to the gas tank to prevent fuel degradation and ensure easy starting next season. Drain fuel to prevent carburetor issues.
- Adjust Skid Shoes: Adjust the skid shoes to the appropriate height for your surface. This prevents damage to both the snow blower and the surface you are clearing.
