Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for wear or damage. Replace worn parts to maintain optimal performance.
- Check and Replace Shear Pins: Shear pins protect the auger gearbox from damage. Keep a supply of spare shear pins and replace them immediately if broken.
- Use Fuel Stabilizer: Add fuel stabilizer to the gas tank before storing the snow blower for the off-season. This prevents fuel degradation and ensures easy starting next winter.
- Adjust Skid Shoes: Periodically adjust the skid shoes to maintain the correct clearance between the scraper bar and the ground, preventing damage to the pavement and ensuring efficient snow removal.
