General Maintenance Tips
1. Do not attempt to repair the machine unless you have the
proper tools and instructions for disassembly and repair of
the machine.
2. Check bolts and screws at frequent intervals for proper
tightness to ensure that the equipment is in safe working
condition.
3. After each snow removal session, run the snow blower
for a few minutes to prevent the collector/impeller from
freezing. Shut off the motor, wait for all revolving parts
to stop completely, and wipe residual ice and snow off
the unit. Rotate the chute deector by the remote switch
several times to remove any excess snow.
