There is an adjustment idler wheel under a plastic cover behind the auger case that can be adjusted to provide more pressure on the belt that drives the augers.

you should have cleared the snow after using it, I suggest you clear the snow away.

I replaced mine with the same one that was on it. After sitting during the winter when I tried to use it the motor didn't want to come on. I took it apart and cleaned it and now it works like new. Try to clean motor first before ordering a new one.

Does the fan belt squeal? You've got to keep the drive belt tight. Slip up the four inch black rubber protector that's half way down the line that goes from the auger engager to the unit. Undo one of the lines with a pair of pliers and tighten the line to the next hole. Replace the rubber cover and you're all set for the winter.

The auger is made of a rigid plastic. It works great if you get to the snow before it hardens.

Many snowblowers are driven (or propelled) by the auger's rotation. This model has a separate gear drive for the wheels, meaning it can propel without the auger running.

Yes, this is what I replaced mine with. I would also suggest the Briggs & Stratton Pump Saver if yours failed due to freezing.

Does the freezer have a ice build up. If not the compressor may be bad. If so then the defrost thermostat maybe bad. You can troubleshoot by checking the board

Tammy,I figured out after that happened to me was to get the motor running and pour the mixture in using the slot in the top. I haven't had any more trouble with it sticking. It does seem to freeze up quicker than the time it says in the booklet. I scrap it out with a rubber spatula and put it in a container to finish in the freezer. I got a good hint from another web site to put a little acholol ( rum or tequila)in it to keep it from freezing rock hard. Hope this helps

the carburetor should be fine is it comes from the factory it may be the governor which is something someone might have adjust at the snow blower shop

There should be a small hole on the back ov the unit. For some reason the unit has frozen up. Use an unfold paper clip to trigger the manual reset. That's all I can suggest other than return it where you got it for refund!

I only know my snow blower is about 15 years old and it has a 10hp motor. I had to drop a bottom plate and take off the cover for the belts.I would replace all the belts and the auger cable. Make sure you check all parts positions before disassembling. The auger cable is a little on the large size but I believe that is so it can fit many units. Disconnect that cable 1st and then connect the replacement as you go along. Hope this helps.

it has a one year warranty and the auger is plastic however it takes a beating. I found the problem with this item after many hours of use the support handle shown mid way on the pole, broke off. I purchased a ice chipper handle that is used to attach to ice chippers and it fits nicely to the pole and I did not lose any time. With the snow we received in CT this item worked great and I am glad I purchased it before the snow dropped. It worked great on wood decks and did not hurt the finish.

Hi Freesia,I consider myself an expert on these electric snowblowers. All snowblowers for that matter, as I have tried them all. A two-stage blower will still launch some gravel because small rocks will be in the snow, that the auger (1st stage) brings back to the impeller (2nd stage)

We purchased the complete sprayer gun and nozzle as old one froze during the Winter. All it took was 1 drop of moisture at the temps in the Mountains of Co. to freeze

Mine worked just fine out of the box with the mix from the same company. The instructions say to pump the mixture by rapidly changing the dial between light and heavy snow until it starts working.

I had the same problem at the end of the winter. I was within 2 years of purchase and they replaced it free, no questions asked. Look at the return procedure on their website.
