- Change the oil on your Cub Cadet snow thrower. You should also change the oil after the first five hours of winter-use, as well as at the end of the season.
- Check your spark plugs. Are they dirty? Clean the plugs. If you notice any rust or corrosion, you'll need to replace your spark plugs. Use our Parts Lookup tool to find replacement spark plugs!
- Inspect all of your belts. Major wear and tear can cause damage to you or your equipment. If you need Cub Cadet replacement belts, we can help!
- Re-fuel. Before adding new fuel, you'll need to drain your gas tank. When you add fresh fuel, you'll want to be sure your fuel includes a stablizer. This will prevent the fuel from going bad if you don't have to run your snow thrower for a couple of milder winter weeks.
- Before you run your Cub Cadet snow thrower, you'll want to sure all parts are in supreme working order. Lubricate the drive and chassis. Be sure to tighten nuts and bolts.
When you've completed these five simple steps, start up your snow thrower and let it run for a few minutes to be sure no other issues arise. When performing maintenance on your Cub Cadet snow thrower, always exercise precaution, and use our Snow Blower Parts Diagrams when you need to look up a replacement part.
