The fuel tanks on small engines are usually mounted directly above the carburetor to allow gravity to feed the float bowls. Work in Smaller Stripsĭealing with thick or wet snow? If your snowblower wants to clog, move your snowblower so it’s working on a strip of snow that’s 1/2-1/3 as wide as the auger.

If you subscribe to the paper, make sure you pick it up before your snowblower does. Rolling the auger into a frozen newspaper can cause serious jams, breaking shear pins and belts. Sometimes, this is enough to get the snow out of the way with a single pass instead of having to clean up after the snow lands on a different part of the pavement. Working with less than 6 inches of snow at a time puts less strain on your snowblower and helps it push the snow further to reduce the height of the snowbanks flanking the cleared area. It may make sense to wait until snowfall stops to blow off your driveway all at once, but it can be far easier on your machine if you use it based on the amount of snow on the ground. Since snowblower use is unpredictable, this fuel should be treated with a stabilizer so it’s ready to ignite whether you use it this week or two months from now. Cold temperatures reduce the fumes from gasoline, which allows refineries to make blends that are more volatile for easy starting. If you have gas left over from summer lawn care, dump it in your car’s fuel tank and get some new gas. If you have particularly cold weather in your area, consider a synthetic oil, as it will stay thin even in extreme temperatures. If the wax is a spray or has the words “synthetic” on the bottle, it’s polymer-based.Ĭhange the oil and replace the spark plug. If your snowblower has a metal chute, wax the inside of it with a polymer car wax to keep snow from sticking. If they’re rusted together, extreme forces will act on the snowblower instead of the pin, causing major damage.

Remove the shear pins and make sure the auger moves separately from the axle. The axle for the rear wheels should be lubricated with a high-quality marine grease to protect it from moisture. Plastic parts need PTFE lube, metal parts need a light oil, and the components inside the auger housing and chute need some silicone spray lubricant. If it’s a cable, hinge, or linkage, it needs to be lubricated. Already have frozen ground? A masonry bit can drill a hole through the dirt for your marker. Set up markers near gravel and landscape features as well as the edges of your driveway and sidewalk.
