Snow & Yard Power

Snow blowers and yard tools that start every time

Snow blowers, chainsaws, leaf blowers and string trimmers sit idle for months and then must work immediately. Old fuel, dull chains, worn shear pins, cracked lines and clogged filters are the usual culprits, and they tend to show up on the first snowy morning or the first busy weekend of the season. Most are easy to prevent with a little seasonal care.

The guides in this section cover maintenance, troubleshooting and storage for the equipment that keeps your driveway clear and your yard tidy. You will learn how to prepare a machine before the season, fix common starting and performance problems and use each tool more safely. Read your manual, wear eye, ear and hand protection and never clear a clog with the engine running. For chainsaw kickback issues, gearbox noise or anything beyond routine care, a qualified service shop is the right choice.
