The Importance of Maintenance

Regular maintenance is essential to ensure your snow blower continues to deliver safe and high-quality performance.

To help you properly care for your snow blower, the following pages include a recommended maintenance schedule, routine inspection procedures, and simple maintenance procedures using basic hand tools. Maintenance is the responsibility of the owner and must be performed regularly. More difficult service tasks or tasks that require special tools are best handled by a recommended service technician or other qualified mechanic.

The maintenance schedule described on page 19 applies to snow blower used under normal operating conditions. If you operate your snow blower under severe conditions, such as sustained prolonged use or use it in unusually wet, dusty or rocky conditions, consult your servicing dealer for recommendations applicable to your individual needs and use.

Be sure to use genuine SNOW BEAST replacement parts when servicing your snow blower to assure the best quality, safety and performance.

Check Oil Level

CHECK ENGINE OIL BEFORE EACH USE. Change oil as recommended on page 19 and follow proper procedures to check and change oil.

CAUTION! Before making any adjustments and/or servicing to your SNOW BEAST, make sure the snow blower is on a level surface, with the ignition switch off, the key removed, and the augers disengaged. Also, disconnect the spark plug wires from the spark plugs and ground them against the engine to prevent inadvertent starting.

If you are performing adjustments or maintenance after operating the snow blower, allow the unit to cool and always wear protective clothing.

CAUTION: Always wear work gloves when performing auger maintenance and beware of sharp edges. Be sure the engine is off, the key removed, and the spark plug wires are disconnected from the spark plugs to prevent inadvertent starting.

Shear Bolts

Check shear bolts (as well as other bolts) at frequent intervals for proper tightness to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.

Do NOT use standard bolts to replace shear bolts.

Severe damage or injury could occur. Warranty is also void if shear bolts are not used.

Shear bolts are available for replacement through GXi Parts & Service.

After Blowing Snow

Allow the machine to run with the impeller engaged for a few minutes after blowing snow to prevent freeze-up of the augers/impeller.
