Snow BEAST Operating Instructions 30SB, 36SB, 45SB Using your BEAST Snow Blower The following tips will help ensure proper and long lasting use of your BEAST snow blower. ALWAYS wear proper Figure 1 Figure 1 Before use, always ensure there is nothing lodged in the Impeller collector, or impeller area. Inspect the auger and impeller for damage from rocks or other debris, and ensure there is no string, twine, etc stuck on the auger or impeller shafts.
Snow BEAST 30SB, 36SB, 45SB Avoiding Impeller Freeze-Up Impeller freeze-up occurs when snow and ice remain in the impeller housing after the job is finished. The remaining snow and ice melts partially and only temporarily due to residual heat in the snow blower. The remaining mixture re-freezes and essentially “welds” the impeller to the impeller housing and prevents rotation of the impeller.
Snow BEAST General Maintenance 30SB, 36SB, 45SB The Importance of Maintenance Regular maintenance is essential to ensure your snow blower continues to deliver safe and high-quality performance. CAUTION CAUTION! Before making any adjustments and/or servicing to your BEAST Snow Blower , make sure the snow blower is on a level surface, with the ignition switch off, the key removed, and the augers disengaged.
