snowblower question

[kco]

I haven't had any problems. If I know it is wet sticky snow, I spray the impeller, & chute with silicon, or similar type spray.

If it is snow/slush that has had a lot of rain soak in, I will up the RPM's. I usually run the blower around 1900-2100 RPM, but for that real wet heavy stuff I'll bump it up to 2300-2400 RPM.

I don't think I have ever really run my unit at 2600 RPM(540). The blower has eaten Everything I have put before it......even 2 kids toys and a piece of firewood...don't ask.

Just make sure you have some spare shear bolts, and more importantly, Remember where you store them!

I made a shear pin holder from a short piece of plastic pipe and two end caps to store the two kinds of pins for my Meteor blower:





We often get heavy wet snow here and I find running the blower at its rated RPMs always keeps it clear. It sometimes plugs if I run it below the maximum. Another thing that helps is to clear the chute of any sticking snow when finished so it is clear to go the next time.
