Regularly inspect the auger and impeller for damage: Look for cracks, bends, or excessive wear, and replace worn or damaged parts promptly to maintain optimal performance.
Replace shear pins as needed: Shear pins protect the auger gearbox from damage if the auger encounters a hard object. Keep spare shear pins on hand and replace them immediately when broken.
Check and adjust belt tension: Proper belt tension is crucial for efficient power transfer. Refer to the owner's manual for the correct tension and adjust as necessary.
Use fuel stabilizer during off-season storage: Add fuel stabilizer to the fuel tank before storing the snow blower to prevent fuel degradation and ensure easy starting next season.
