Repair and maintenance of snow blowers
Husqvarna snow removal equipment has high quality and excellent technical characteristics. However, even the models of this company sometimes fail. Often, unit owners are forced to turn to specialists for help, but there are a number of breakdowns that can be easily fixed on their own.
A list of these faults and repair methods is listed below:
- The engine of the unit jams - most often this happens due to debris and other foreign objects that were in the snow getting into the internal parts. In this case, you should immediately stop work, disassemble the engine compartment of the machine and remove the foreign object. You will also need to check the spare parts of the unit for damage;
- The snow blower starts, but does not move - the reason lies in a faulty belt. If it breaks down, the motor does not transmit torque to the transmission, which is why the latter does not work. As a rule, the belt cannot be repaired and must be completely replaced;
- The unit makes a loud noise - the problem lies in the lack of lubrication for the bearing. To get rid of the malfunction, you will need to add lubricant using a watering can or syringe.
If all of the above procedures do not help, then the snow blower will need to be taken to a specialist. This way, the owner will not cause any more damage to the car.
Oil change for Husqvarna snow blowers
The correct oil plays an important role when servicing snowblowers. The proper operation of all engine parts and other structural components depends on the composition. As practice shows, when choosing oil you should pay attention to the following factors:
- Freezing temperature - the lower it is, the better;
- Density - indicates the number of additives; the denser the oil, the longer it will last;
- Brand – it is better to buy lubricants only from the most well-known and trusted brands.
As a rule, Husqvarna snow removal equipment does not require frequent oil changes. However, in order to avoid damage and abrasion of elements, it is better not to ignore the need to replace the lubricant. To replace, you will need to unscrew the filler cap in the crankcase and then drain the old oil. Next, the drain plug is inserted into place, and a new composition is poured into the tank.

Quality
If you have never dealt with such equipment, it is worth noting that a snow blower will be indispensable in conditions where large amounts of snow often fall. This is especially true for country houses, industrial factories or enterprises. Not all bosses have the extra time and money to hire workers to clear the area every morning after a heavy snowfall.
But a snowplow will cope with this task quickly and efficiently, without the need to expend human resources - some of these units are self-propelled. But if you want to manage the process yourself, special comfortable handles and automatic control will make this desire come true.
The engine power of the Husqvarna ST 261E snow blower is quite large - 4.8 kW. The engine itself is very functional and reliable (manufactured by Briggs & Stratton). The fuel tank capacity is 3 liters, which is also quite enough for clearing snow from a large area. This snow blower runs on gasoline, although fuel costs are not significant. The design of the unit is very durable and reliable; the large-sized bucket allows you to clear any snow cover, even compacted ones.
As additional accessories, this model is equipped with anti-slip chains that are attached to the wheels. This snow blower is also equipped with a two-stage auger system and is started using an electric starter.
The machine is controlled and the direction of movement is determined using a special joystick, or you can coordinate its movement manually. The two-stage system is designed to throw masses of processed snow over a distance of 15 meters. And a special headlight built into the front part of the snow blower allows clearing to be carried out even in the dark, which is very important, since it gets dark quite early in winter. Durable rubber wheels with treads on them allow you to move this equipment even on slippery ice.
A comment from Egor Nikiforov from Tver confirms all of the above:
Last winter was especially snowy; we had to shovel snow almost every day, sometimes this process took half a day. I decided not to suffer and buy myself a snow blower, and since my territory is quite large, I chose the powerful Husqvarna ST 261E. And what do you think? It started up the first time and within an hour cleared not only the paths and surrounding area, but also the parking lot! For those who have the means, I advise you to definitely take only this model.
We agree with the user's wishes and want to add that when choosing a snow blower, you should pay attention to several factors: manufacturer, engine power, drive type and control principle. Of course, such multifunctional equipment has many other, more minor features, but we have already listed the main ones. And, of course, the quality of the device must be high; we rate this model itself as 10 points.

Description
The Husqvarna 1130STE is a professional-grade self-propelled snow blower. This model is perfect for cleaning large alleys and streets. Production of the Husqvarna 1130STE took place between 2009 and 2010. As of today, production of this model has been suspended. The powerful engine, which operates without air filters, is designed for intensive work in harsh conditions.
For greater productivity, the product is equipped with a two-stage rotary-blade system for capturing and throwing snow. The maximum processing width is 76 cm, which is a significant advantage compared to previous models in this line. The maximum gripping height of the Husqvarna snow blower is 58.5 cm.
Air filters are designed to clean the air from dust contained in the air. When working with garden equipment in the summer, air filters protect the engine from dust getting into it. In winter, there is practically no abrasive dust in the air, but snow dust is released, which quickly clogs such filters. Moreover, through such holes moisture penetrates inside the device faster.
The maneuverability of the snow blower is ensured by servo-driven steering. This function allows you to disable the differential lock and select the drive wheel. The fuel tank capacity of the Husqvarna 1130STE snow blower is 4 liters. Based on the fact that at low temperatures it is quite difficult to start an engine with a large fuel tank with a manual starter, the manufacturer added an electric starter to the design. Thus, after recharging from the mains, the engine starts by pressing a button.
Some of the most unstable parts are the shear bolts and friction ring. This spare part can only be replaced at a service center.
If the friction ring fails, the snow blower continues to operate, but its wheels do not spin. Most often, this malfunction is caused by significant overloads of equipment.
