  • After each use, run the machine for a few minutes to prevent freezing, then wipe off residual ice and snow.
  • Check bolts and screws frequently for tightness.
  • The motor and auger are lubricated for lifetime use; do not add lubricant.

Replacing Parts:

  • Rubber Plates: Remove the nuts and bolts securing the plate assembly to the auger. Replace the worn plates, ensuring the coarse side is inside and the smooth side is outside.
  • Scraper Bar: Remove the two screws holding the bar at the base of the unit and install the new one.
  • Belt and Pulley: Remove the left panel. Lift the belt tension pulley to remove the old belt. Use a 7/8-inch socket to remove the big pulley if necessary. Install the new belt by rolling it onto the pulleys.
