Hey there, snow warrior! Are you prepared to attack the winter Wonderland on your own terms with snow blower in tow? If so, then, how about keeping your winter MVP in top shape all season long. Here are five maintenance tips to keep your snow blower running while keeping the fun in winter maintenance!

1. The Pre-Snow Pep Talk – Look it over So before the snow falls, let's exchange a little heart-to-heart with your snow blower. Come on, C'mon-or is it? Gather around, Pat It On the handle and tell it that it will be performing good superhero work. Trust us, a little encouragement can do so much! Furthermore, it's a great opportunity to chat with your machines--and sound completely normal doing so.  All that aside it is a good practice to check it over for any damages it might have received in between seasons.

2. CLEAN UP! And Treat Your Blades 🛠️Think of your snow blower as a four-legged furry friend that you have to clip. Brush it off--clear away rocks, sticks and anything else it may have picked up on the last runaround. When it's all clean, give those blades a good bit of care. A little lubricant, a gentle tightening, and voila! A brand new Fan Friend, your snow-clearing pal.

3. Fluid Check Shenanigans 💧Now, here’s where the genuine magic comes in. The fluids in your Snow blower keep it running. Don't neglect them. Top up the gas tank, but no spillage antics bring a rag.  Is your Snow blower getting enough beauty sleep? Be sure to check the oil level for that, just like you would on your car. Pro tip: When it is murky or smells funny, it's time to change the oil. It's a spa day for your snow-clearing superhero, really.

4. Keep It Sheltered, Darling! 🏡Just as you wouldn't want any harm to come your favorite supercar, don't leave your snow blower exposed to the elements. When it's not being heroic, find a shed, garage or other cover to keep it warm and comfortable. In this way, your snow blower remains insulated from the elements, and has a safe haven in which to recharge its batteries.
