- Shear Pin Replacement: Keep spare shear pins on hand. Replace broken shear pins immediately to protect the auger and transmission from damage caused by hard objects.
- Belt Tension: Check the belt tension regularly. Loose belts can slip and reduce the snow thrower's throwing distance. Adjust or replace belts as needed.
