Snowblowers
• Annual maintenance. Give it the same annual checkup and care that goes into your lawnmower or rototiller.• Use only when needed. Try to handle a light snowfall with a shovel. This is healthy exercise, saves gasoline, and lets you avoid breathing the fumes from the snowblower.
• Save power. Use only as much power as needed to remove the snow. Don't run it at full speed unless you've had a blizzard!
• Cleaning. Be sure the snow is cleaned off the machine when you're finished. Otherwise the machine can rust, especially around the carburetor. This will lower the efficiency and may waste gasoline.
• Electric snowblower. It deserves the same care as an electric lawnmower. Read your operator's manual for maintenance tips. Learn to listen for changes in the sound of the motor, so you don't ask too much of it in deep snow. The manual will tell you how much snow it can efficiently clear.
• Try a shovel. It takes only two drops of oil a year (to prevent rust).
