Common Cold Weather Snow Blower Problems

I do not know how it is winter in other parts of the country, but here in the northeast, when a snow storm the temperature was mostly in their twenties or low thirties. However, sometimes the snow when the temperature is in single digits or close to zero, and this is when some new and not so wonderful things begin happening to the snow blower is stored in the cold. Handles will not depress. Rotors are not addressed. Engines that are running fine will not start. Belts begin to smoke and squeal when you are dealing with. Cables break and drivers will not engage.

has a lot to do with putting away recently used by "hot" snow blower without cleaning the snow. Now the snow melts and freezes in the strangest places. Let's address the majority of these problems under the assumption that there are two phases of the wheel-driven snow blowers. But first, a brief explanation of the types of snow blowers outside.

two-stage snow blower has a large steel drill up front that turns on a fairly slow rate of speed and the blade in the snow. The second stage is smaller, faster, turning the fan under the parachute, which really throws the snow. Single stage snow blower is a rapidly spinning rotor / worm that turns at a speed rate of speed and both shoulders and throws the snow. wheel drive with a single stage snow blower is becoming rare as Tire-unit tried to take his place. They are lighter and less expensive to make, and they throw the snow just as far and away.

3) How to prevent: Clean snow blower snow outside and inside the blade / auger housing when it did snow blowing. Then make sure that none of the rotor blades is directed straight down, where melted snow and frozen ponds.
4) auger or drive handle will not engage in: This usually happens in models with cables, rather than cohesion. Cable moisture gets inside and freezes. If you do not have cable, follow the links to the pivot point, which is frozen. This may require removal of access cover. Dissolve or cable connection using the same method as the impeller is frozen, apply heat safely

5) How to prevent this: Remove the two cable ends and apply a low temperature or white lithium grease. Work cable back and forth the entire inner length coat. WD40 or any rust penetrant may do the trick, but fat is more permanent. NOTE: If you use a grease gun or grease from the tube or tub of snow blowers, make sure that the low temperature grease. That is to say on the box. If you are unsure, ask the sales person - if you can find a knowledgeable one of these days. fat is typically blue in color. Do not use regular ball bearing or a general purpose grease on the snow blower. This will tire when it's cold out and make the parts stick or harder to use. For units that have links instead of cables, dissolve and spray or apply a low-temp grease on all moving parts.

If your electric starter sounds like it is spinning, but not turn the engine over, then chances are the starter gear is frozen to the shaft. Thawed with safe heat. To prevent freezing, a light lubricant on the gear shaft is recommended. On some machines, you May be able to use the spray lubricant with a plastic nozzle extension to the shaft without removing the starter - but remove the starter may be needed. That way you can slide speed all the way out and spray the shaft with a low temp lubricant below where speed slides or parks when not in use.

7) No starting: snow blower that ran fine the last snow storm, but now will not start, especially if it's really cold out, can only have a small amount of moisture in the tank, fuel or carb that is frozen. Defrosting safe and add a pipeline of anti-freeze should do the trick, but if there is too much water in the fuel, you may need to remove the fuel tank and drain. However, it does not remove water in the carbs. Some of the older snow blowers have a drain at the bottom of the spring for this purpose. If not, you can crack a high-speed adjustment screw or jet (as the case may be), open a few turns in the float bowl drain. This is a messy business as usual fuel is going in all directions, or down your arm so that the coffee can and some clothes ready.

Note: Some snow blowers have a diaphragm carburetor, and regardless of the design, it should be if you installed a carburetor kit disassembly. Elder Briggs engines have a membrane attached to the top of the carburetor and gas tank must be removed as a unit.
