Fan stops turning.
Shear bolt is probably broken.
Replace shear bolts.
Snowblower stops turning.
One of the two belts is probably
damaged or broken.
Check both belts and replace
damaged belt(s).
Belt snapping, shredding or burning Lack of tension on belt.
Adjust manual clutch cable or
replace springs if stretched.
Snowblower engaged when
plugged.
Make sure the auger & the fan are
not frozen or plugged before
engaging.
Not original belts.
Always use original belts.
Worn belt. Belt may be worn
causing a slack.
Inspect the belt. Replace if required.

Imperfections in pulleys.
Verify if the pulleys are damaged.
Verify that pulleys are smooth,
without rust spots. Sand down the
pulleys or replace them.
Interference.
Make sure that belt does not come
into contact with any other part,
bolts, guides etc... when engaged.
Belt has flipped on its side.
When installing new belt, have
snowblower run between 20 to 40
seconds. Turn everything off and
verify that belt has not turned on its
side. If so, remove belt and re-install
in opposite fashion to rectify the bad
twist the belt has taken.
Chute plugs easily.
Tractor engine turning too slowly.
Run engine at full throttle during
snowblowing operation.
Advancing too quickly with tractor.
Allow snowblower to ingest snow at
its own speed.
Chute rotation is difficult.
Dirt or ice may be underneath
chute.
Dismount chute. Clean the base of
chute and the rotation ring.
Lubricate & re-install.
Snowblower digs into ground.
Ground is not frozen or too soft.
Adjust skid shoes lower so they
may better support the snowblower.
If problem persists, change skid
shoes for heavy duty skid shoes
(option #700243) which cover more
surface and prevents snowblower
from digging.
