Five Tips to Make Sure Your Snow Thrower Is Ready for Winter

Once the leaves have fallen and temperatures drop below freezing, snow won't be far behind. And while it may not be here yet, there's no better time to prepare your snow thrower than before you really need it. Although last winter was relatively warm and less severe, this season is expected to have heavier snowfall and colder temperatures in many parts of the U.S.

According to Troy-Bilt®, a leading manufacturer of outdoor power equipment, you'll be better prepared if you perform routine snow thrower maintenance before winter hits.

"With this year's winter weather predictions, the last thing you want is an unexpected repair or trip to the store to purchase a new snow thrower in the middle of a blizzard," said Jack Drobny, senior product marketing manager for Troy-Bilt. "It may feel early, but now is the best time to pull your snow thrower out of the garage and make sure it's ready for winter."
