I had the same problem until I figured out that half of the auger was not rotating when engaged. This is hard to figure out because you can't hold down the lever and look to see if the auger is twisting. Get a buddy to help you out or get a strong rubber band and put on lever so you can see if rotating. If one side of the auger is not roating you will get constant jams on wet or heavy snow. Good luck and have fun. John,

After about 10 feet it will become clogged and even if I bang the unit on the ground it will not become dislogde. Even when using the hand shovel I clear it and go through the same issue again and again. I have tired using PAM and Silcone Spray, fast and slow but it keeps happening. This is very frustrating what did I pay all of this money for?

Check to see if the belt is loose at all or looks damaged and go from there. Visit our parts & accessories page for replacement parts if you do need something.

The auguer horizontal shaft separated from the assembly and the blades jambed. I stopped running the auger. Then when I tried to start the auger again it would not turn. The motor works and the snow blower propels foward. Have you run into this? Tony My snow blower just failed. The auguer horizontal shaft separated from the assembly and the blades jambed.
