Why It's Important to Service Your Snow Blower Before Winter Hits

Living in a snow-heavy area, ensuring your snow blower is in top condition is essential. A well-maintained snow blower helps you avoid breakdowns during a snowstorm when you need it most. Regular servicing can extend its lifespan, improve efficiency, and prevent costly repairs. Whether it’s inspecting belts, replacing spark plugs, or lubricating parts, timely care ensures reliability.

Old gas can cause significant problems for a snow blower because it breaks down over time, forming gum and varnish that clogs fuel lines and carburetors. This can make the engine hard to start or cause it to run poorly. Stale fuel may also reduce the efficiency of combustion, leading to poor performance or even engine damage. To avoid these issues, it's recommended to drain the fuel tank or add a fuel stabilizer if the machine will be stored for an extended period, like during the off-season.
