Skipping basic upkeep can result in annoying breakdowns just when you need your snow blower the most.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We've got you covered on all you need to know to maintain your snow blower properly. We'll go over the maintenance tasks to do before winter comes and the routine upkeep during the snowy season. Stick to these tips, and your snow blower will keep up its A-game in clearing snow all season long.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need any replacement parts for your snow blower, you can enter your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/how-to-find-your-appliances-model-number\/\"><b>model number<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/\"><b>AppliancePartsPros.com<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to order them. Most orders arrive in just two business days, and we have thousands of free guides to show you how to install your new parts.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The information in this article may not apply to your specific appliance model. We recommend consulting your manufacturer's documentation or<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/repair-help\/\"> <b>contact us<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with any questions.<\/span><\/em>\r\n\r\n[lwptoc numeration=\"none\"]\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why proper snow blower maintenance matters<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintaining your snow blower properly is important for the best performance and longevity. Adhering to the manufacturer's recommended schedule for basic maintenance offers several advantages. First, it extends the lifespan of your snow blower, making sure it's reliable for years to come. Second, regular maintenance prevents unexpected winter breakdowns, allowing your machine to efficiently clear snow when needed most. Third, well-maintained equipment operates more effectively, reducing the risk of costly repairs in the future.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, proper maintenance enhances safety during operation. Issues like loose bolts or poor traction can make your snow blower hazardous to use, emphasizing the importance of regular upkeep. So, rather than considering maintenance a hassle, view it as an investment in your snow blower's performance and longevity, resulting in fewer breakdowns and enhanced efficiency in the long run.<\/span>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Snow blower maintenance tasks before winter<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The key to avoiding issues is preventative snow blower maintenance before winter arrives. Set aside an afternoon to focus on these tasks:<\/span>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Change oil and fuel<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For gas-powered snow blowers, old oil, and gas should be completely drained and replaced prior to winter. This step helps prevent gumming up carburetors and builds up.<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a siphon or drain plug to remove all old gas from the tank. Dispose of it properly.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add fresh fuel treated with a fuel stabilizer to extend shelf life.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check the manual for oil capacity and drain oil. Replace with new, winter-weight oil.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wipe any spilled oil and dispose of the old oil properly.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Inspect belts, bolts, and mechanical parts<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It's important to inspect key components and make sure nothing is loose, worn, or damaged:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check all belts. Replace any that are cracked, excessively worn, or damaged.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tighten any loose nuts, bolts, screws, cords, etc. Hardware can vibrate loose over time.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identify any parts that are worn or frayed such as belts, starter cords, etc. Replace as needed.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Replace common wear items<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Several parts like shear pins and scraper blades experience predictable wear and should be proactively replaced:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Install fresh spark plug(s). Check the manual for the correct plug gap and torque.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If excessively worn, replace scraper blade\/skid shoes. Measure against new ones.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On single-stage models, check auger rubber paddles. Replace if worn to indicator holes.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Lubricate moving parts<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lubricating parts keeps them moving freely, prevents rust, and reduces wear:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grease auger shaft zerks until fresh grease purges the seals.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apply anti-seize compound to the auger shaft so shear pins can be removed.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lubricate chute directional control linkage and cables.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oil chains, gears, and impeller bearings per manual specifications.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Check tires and adjust hardware<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proper inflation and positioning of components are key for safe operation:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Examine tires for adequate tread and damage. Maintain proper tire pressure.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure skid shoes are adjusted to the proper height to avoid ground contact.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Confirm track drive tension is set correctly.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adjust scraper and skid heights to optimal positions.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6. Test functionality<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once maintenance tasks are complete, it is important to perform a comprehensive test run. Begin by adding fuel and starting the engine, allowing it to warm up sufficiently. Make sure you have smooth operation of the throttle and choke positions throughout their entire range. Thoroughly examine the functionality of the steering, controls, and accessories to validate their proper operation. Replace any non-functional, frayed, or cracked components to uphold peak performance.<\/span>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintenance during the snow season<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once snow season arrives, stay vigilant with these tasks:<\/span>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Clear ice and snow buildup<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After each use:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clear snow and ice from the auger, impeller, and chute. Clogged snow can damage parts.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wipe down the exterior with a brush\/squeegee to remove clinging snow and prevent icing.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spray the inside of the chute with non-stick cooking spray to prevent buildup.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Check and replace shear pins<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shear pins are designed to break instead of the gearbox when the auger jams:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Replace any broken shear pins immediately so the auger function is restored.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Confirm correct OEM shear pins are installed. The wrong size can damage the gearbox.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep spare shear pins on hand so you can quickly replace them when needed.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Maintain proper fuel level<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Always start with fresh treated gas, never use old gas:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a fuel stabilizer like Sta-Bil when filling the tank to keep fuel fresh for storage.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid bulk storing gas long-term. Replace with new fresh gas every 30-60 days.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Re-lubricate as needed<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Re-apply lubricant if parts become dry. Lubricate more frequently with heavy use:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add grease to auger shaft zerks mid-season if needed.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Re-oil chains, gears, and bearings. Lubricate controls\/linkages.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wipe off excess lubricant and dirt from parts.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Replace any damaged parts<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don't wait on damaged components - replace them immediately:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swap out any auger parts, belts, controls, etc if damaged during use.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bent or cracked parts like augers will only worsen and cause further damage if not replaced promptly.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use OEM factory parts for proper fit and operation.
