Snow blower losing power? Try these quick fixes

If your Husqvarna petrol snow blower is not blowing snow as it should, try these solutions:

Too much snow in the snow blower

Overloading your snow blower can cause it to lose power.

Slow down

• Move the snow blower forwards at a lower speed to reduce strain on the engine.

Clean small paths

• Decrease the clearing width to reduce the amount of snow entering the auger at once.

Ice or snow on a fuel tank cap

If the fuel tank cap is covered with ice or snow, it can block ventilation, causing poor engine performance.

• Clear off any ice or snow from the cap and the area around it.
• Make sure that the fuel cap is dry and breathing properly.

Blocked muffler

A clogged muffler can reduce engine power and make the snow blower less effective

• Turn off the engine and let it cool off completely.
• Carefully inspect the muffler and remove any blockages such as snow, ice and debris.
