Introduction

If you live in an area that frequently gets measurable snowfall, consider purchasing a snow blower. With this machine, snow removal will be much faster and less labor-intensive than with a shovel and you won't ever have to wait for a snow removal service to show up.

Snow blowers come in two basic configurations: one-stage and two-stage. One-stage blowers are simpler, using a motorized auger to pick up snow and discharge it from a shoot. Two-stage blowers do this with two parts. An auger picks up snow, and then an impeller shoots it clear of the machine (and your driveway or sidewalk). This allows two-stage blowers to remove snow faster.

Here, we'll explain how to start a two-stage snow blower.
