Repair
If malfunctions occur as a result of using Herz, it is necessary to diagnose the condition of the snow blower.
If the snow emission becomes weak, this does not always mean a serious breakdown. To analyze the situation, you must turn off the engine.
Often, problems with snow ejection can be caused by foreign objects caught in the auger and ejection pipe. If it is blocked, then, using a special tool, you should clean all the involved parts of the snowfield.
A foreign object can not only block the operation, but also cause auger breakdowns, shear bolts, etc. In this case, replacement of the affected parts may be necessary. An insufficiently strong ejection may be due to adjustment errors - both the ejection mouth and the speed of the snow blower.
The Herz device, which is under warranty, cannot be disassembled yourself - you need to contact a service center.
