Putting it away and bringing it out again
Before the snowblower disappears into the shed or garage, jot down anything that felt off during the last use. When winter comes back around, that note is much more useful than trying to reconstruct the problem from memory.
Storage and service records
Between wintersBefore you put the snowblower away for the season
Use your snowblower’s manual for storage, and write down any unresolved trouble from the last use before putting it away for the season.
Between wintersKeep a record of what’s been done to the machine
Keep the snowblower’s model, symptoms, findings and invoices together so the next person who works on it can see what has already happened.
