Record the model and serial number and check official recall databases. Read the exact owner’s manual and maintenance schedule. Inspect guards, controls, cables, fasteners and the cleanout tool. Remove bricks, wood, rocks, toys, pet items, hoses and cords from the route. Check belts, shear pins, scraper bars, paddles and skid shoes. Inspect tires, chains or tracks and verify correct pressure or tension. For gas machines, check oil, fuel condition, spark plug schedule and leaks outdoors. For battery machines, inspect packs, terminals and chargers and follow temperature guidance. Test starting, drive, auger, chute, steering and shutdown controls outdoors. Keep approved spare shear pins and common wear parts available. After each use, shut down, isolate power, remove packed snow with the cleanout tool and allow the machine to dry. At season end, clean, service and store fuel or batteries exactly as the manual directs.
