Maintaining Your Snowblower's Good Health

To keep your Snowblower healthy from the start:

1) Change your oil every year even if only used a couple times using high grade 5W30
2) Change your Spark Plug every 2 years to prevent hard starting.
3) Make sure your tires are inflated to the proper PSI in Nov.  Big Problem and unbalanced machine not good for the engine nor for your heart.  Underinflated tires cause you to push 20% harder - so check your tires always!
4) Treat your gas container ALWAYS with Fuel Stabilizer.
5) Lubricate your Auger Housing with low temperature grease.
6) Start your Snowblower every 6 months minimum so engine can stay healthy.
7) Do NOT store your Snowblower outside either uncovered or covered....mice will enter the gear housing and eat at your Auger Belt and leave a mess or worse - nest in there!
8) Use Premium Shell Gasoline in your Gas Container...Shell Premium contains no Methanol (gums up Carburetor) and is high in Nitrogen for a cleaner burn. 
   
These are just the first steps but important ones! For a complete Expert Tune-Up or Winter Servicing/Repair - call Al @ 613 315-1590 or visit our  website:  www.snowblower.es
