This is my first year with a snow blower.. I was told you should continuously check the oil level through out the snowy season . I was told the oil level will go down with use . I've stored extra plugs , sheer pins , and oil . I'm ready ..

After the 16th thinks could get interesting
For the Ariens:
Change the oil, after running it for a while and then letting it sit.
clean the plug with carb cleaner, and gap if needed
Adjust the drive belt tension
Make sure the linkage is good
Transfer case is full of lube.
hit every grease joint with grease
Tire pressure
Adjust the lower blade for wear.
Make sure the shear pins are good.
This year I plan on replacing the steel runners with the hard rubber ones

Even before ethanol gas went bad. We had a Buick come in a few years back that wouldn't start with 160 miles on it. It was 2 years old. Two old ladies who only drove it to church ( Honest) and church was a block away from their home. Original tank of gas and it was jello. What a mess. Stank up the service department and the bodyshop with the shellack smell. Use Stabile for seasonally used gas powered equiptment.
