What does a snowblower need for maintenance? More than an oil change.

11/20/2024

0 Comments

 
What Does a Snowblower Need for Maintenance? More Than an Oil Change Proper snowblower maintenance is essential to ensure reliable performance during winter's harsh conditions. Beyond just an oil change, here's what you need to focus on for your snowblower:
  • Inspect Critical Components
    • Check and tighten bolts, nuts, and screws. Replace worn-out belts and frayed starter cords.
  • Replace Vital Parts
    • Swap out the spark plug annually and clean or replace the fuel filter. These steps ensure easier starts and efficient operation.
  • Lubrication and Adjustment
    • Apply the right lubricants to the drive system and moving parts. Inspect and adjust skid shoes, the scraper bar, and the auger for wear and proper clearance.
  • Check Fuel Quality
    1. Use fresh, winter-grade gasoline to avoid starting issues. Ensure the tank is free of stale fuel.
  • Maintain Tires and Accessories
    • Inflate tires to the recommended pressure and inspect for wear. If chains are needed, ensure they're ready to use. Test additional features like power steering or headlights for functionality.
  • Shear Pin and Battery Care
    1. Replace broken shear pins to protect the auger mechanism. For electric snowblowers, check battery voltage and condition.
  • Taking these steps helps prevent breakdowns and maximizes your equipment's lifespan. For detailed instructions, consult your owner's manual or visit trusted resources such as Bob Vila's maintenance guide or Troy-Bilt's recommendations.
Keeping your snowblower in top shape is essential for reliable performance during unpredictable winters. Regular maintenance goes beyond the basics—don’t settle for just an oil change! After working in wet, salty conditions and sitting idle for months, your snow blower needs a thorough inspection and service to ensure it’s ready to tackle the toughest snowfalls.

At YARMAND, we offer trusted service that extends the life of your equipment and saves you from costly breakdowns. Watch to learn why professional snowblower maintenance is the key to keeping your machine running smoothly year after year!

Why Your Snowblower Needs Regular Service—Even if You Only Use It a Handful of Times

10/23/2024

0 Comments

 

​Snowblowers often sit idle for most of the year, but when winter arrives, they become essential. Regular maintenance, even when used sparingly, ensures your snowblower will perform when you need it most. Here are key reasons why servicing your snowblower yearly is crucial for peace of mind


1. Prevent Unexpected Breakdowns
Snowstorms come without warning, and the last thing you want is your snowblower stalling mid-use. Regular checks help identify potential issues before they turn into costly repairs, ensuring your equipment is always ready to go.

2. Improve Longevity and Efficiency
A well-maintained snowblower can last much longer than a neglected one. Just like any machine, regular upkeep, such as oil changes and tune-ups, keeps it running efficiently, saving you from premature replacement costs.

3. Lubrication to Prevent Rust and Seizing
The mechanical parts of your snowblower are prone to rusting and seizing when left without proper care. Regular lubrication keeps gears and moving parts functioning smoothly, extending the life of your machine and avoiding unnecessary damage.

4. Protect Against Wear and Tear
Even if you only use your snowblower a few times a year, parts like the auger, belts, and blades can still experience wear and tear. Servicing ensures these parts are checked and replaced if necessary, so your snowblower is always at peak performance.

5. Peace of Mind During Winter’s Worst
Ottawa’s winters are unpredictable. Regular maintenance gives you the confidence that your snowblower will start without a hitch when you need it most, no matter the snowfall.

At YARMAND, we’ve earned over 1000+ raving reviews by ensuring customers get reliable service and quality equipment year after year. Book your annual snowblower tune-up today and stay ahead of the snow with peace of mind.

Best Snow Blowers for 2022 Ottawa Winter

10/6/2022

0 Comments

 
It’s October and Fall is in the air. You suddenly need a sweater for evening walks, and it won’t be long before leaves will be falling everywhere. But those leaves won’t be the only thing falling before Spring hits again.

Maybe you’ve been nursing along an older snow blower for the last few seasons, crossing your fingers you’ll get another year out of it. Maybe you’ve been a faithful shovel person who’s still looking for the right time to upgrade to something that does the work for you. Either way, this year’s Ariens lineup is one of the best we’ve had in a long time and a great time to step up your game.  

So, before you get overwhelmed by all the options out there, let us give you a couple benchmarks to consider based on your needs.

View Ariens Snowblowers in stock in Ottawa visit our inventory selection at YARMAND Store. or call us at  613-724-4332

Here are the top five Sno-Thros® in the Ariens lineup this season:

Snowblower Ariens in-stock Ottawa
1. Deluxe 28 SHO
One of our best-selling units for years now, the Deluxe series of Sno-Thro offers a perfect combination of power and value. While all the models in the Deluxe series have their selling points, the Deluxe 28 SHO does a really great job of bringing it all together. Powered by an Ariens AX 306cc engine, you have 15 lb.-ft. of torque to dig through the deepest, wettest white stuff out there. The real treat is the Super-High-Output (SHO) impeller which is generally only available on our Platinum and higher products. This high spinning fan in the back of the housing keeps the augers clear to pick up more snow and then launches it out of the chute up to 55 feet (read: the neighbor two houses over with the annoying Christmas lights … his driveway). An LED dash light helps for dawn and dusk clearing, and its cast-iron gearcase and all-steel construction tie together that traditional Ariens quality as well.
2. Kraken
Did you read the name? There really isn’t much more that needs to be said. Quite simply, this is the most badass machine we’ve ever built that doesn’t require formalized operator training. If there’s a feature a snowblower needs, it has it, and then a few extra just to be sure. Based on our Professional series, a 420cc engine with electric key start and electronic fuel injection (EFI) means more power than even reasonable is on tap, launching snow a yard-spanning arc of 60 feet! RapidTrak technology with electronic track adjustment for any terrain, hydrostatic transmission giving infinite speed control on the fly, electronic chute control, and enough LED lights to get passers-by to flash their brights at you. We say, “When Hell freezes over, this will be the machine they use to clear it out” and that’s not an exaggeration. 
3. PathPro 21 Remote Chute
Launching snow to the next county is fun, but there’s something to be said for simple and effective snow clearing too, and, let’s be honest, most people don’t need to move that much snow that often. Single stage paddle machines are common for homeowners and the go-to for many commercial crews for good reason - they can tackle most snowfalls up to 9 inches and throw snow up to 35 feet. The best part about a single stage is they clear right down to the pavement for a clean finish without a second pass.  This 21” machine even has a remote chute for added convenience.
4. Platinum 28 SHO RapidTrak
Gravel driveway, steep incline, hidden ice under the snow – we feel your pain. Our wheeled units are some of the best in the industry, but sometimes wheels don’t cut it. Our RapidTrak (think tank treads) is the industry-leading solution to effortlessly tackle all the above. A single lever allows you to switch between track or wheel mode depending on your terrain. And for when you need the added pressure on the housing, a dig-in mode allows you to plow up and clear that heavy compacted snow with ease. As a Platinum machine, you also get the benefit of heated hand grips, LED headlight, and our 369cc Ariens AX engine to turn the work of clearing snow into fun.
5. Professional 28
When you are ‘The King of Snow,’ all your equipment has to stand up to heavy use. That said, we created a line of Sno-Thros that can withstand the added rigor of daily commercial use. The best part? You don’t have to be a pro to step up your snow blowing game to pro level. Powered by our Ariens AX 420cc engine, the Professional 28 can clear 79 tons of snow per hour and throw it 60 feet away – out of sight, out of mind. Standard, as well, are all the features a Professional would demand of a commercial Sno-Thro: heated hand grips to keep you going for hours, LED headlight to tackle the blizzard without waiting for daylight, all-steel construction with commercial grade handlebars, and a cast-iron gearcase for the durability and reliability that leaves Ariens alone at the pinnacle of the market. Thousands of customers bet their business on this machine, and that should say it all.

PURE GASOLINE ONLY

1/27/2021

0 Comments

 
Why is ethanol bad?

Ethanol absorbs moisture like a sponge! Ethanol blends have the ability to retain up to 50 times more water than pure gasoline and carry it through your fuel system.

After prolonged use, that water corrodes parts like an engine's fuel line and carburetor. Eventually enough rust forms in those narrow passageways to restrict fuel supply causing the engine to not start.
Ethanol fuel

The Importance of Pure Gasoline


Trips to the pump are a lot different now than they were 20 years ago. With the integration of
ethanol into our fuels, we now have to be more careful about which button we push at the
pump, especially when filling a fuel tank of small engines such as lawnmowers, snow blowers and
chainsaws.

Highly recommended fuel tips:
  • Buy pure gasoline only. Ethanol-Free (0% Ethanol)
  • Get enough fuel to use within 30 Days.
  • Add fuel stabilizer to fuel can the day you buy it

If your Ariens® Deluxe, Platinum or Professional series snow blower exhibits erratic tracking, or "pulling" to one side during operation, it can likely be resolved with a simple adjustment. In most cases, this is because the tractor, or frame of the unit is out of alignment with the auger housing, making the Auto-Turn™ technology falsely sense movement and want to turn erratically. Watch our product support team instruct how to make a simple adjustment to help the Auto-Turn feature perform as designed. Before performing service, always read the safety section of your operator's manual.

Moving Snow Ottawa
In the Ottawa-Gatineau region, we tend to get more than our fair share of snow falls.

Even if you enjoy winter activities such as skiing or snowboarding, moving snow is not nearly as enjoyable.

A good snowblower can allow you to handle snow on your own terms.

Be sure to select the right size and model. Keep up with maintenance for ultimate peace of mind.


Snowblower buying tips:

1. Search online, read reviews and reach out to a reputable local servicing dealer for professional advice.

2. Respect your budget but also get a quality snowblower with enough power, clearing width, and features to handle your needs and regional climate.

3.Best to get it professionally assembled and tested before use. Ask about maintenance requirements and service plan for ultimate peace of mind.
