Two-stage snow blower’s discharge chute keeps clogging up when. You try to move very heavy or wet snow or slush, it is probably. Because of a large gap or space between the impeller blades the 2nd. Set of vertical blades behind the main front horizontal auger blades. And the cylindrical chamber in which it rotates. Allows snow and slush to slip by the blades and build up around the. Impeller and in the discharge chute clogging it. The efficiency of the. Impeller’s ability to propel the snow up the chute resulting in less. This problem is well known to people with. Two-stage snow blowers, and the easy and the quick, inexpensive to modify the impeller blades by adding a strip of reinforced. Rubber to each one of them to eliminate this gap. Recommended that you install a. However, because only modifying some but not all of the blades will. Cause a harmonic imbalance in the spinning impeller which could. Easily cause excessive wear on the impeller shaft bearing very costly repairs! You have a single-stage snow blower, or your gap is less than 1/4. Or greater than 5/8, you probably don’t need or can’t use this. Onto your two-stage snow blower. Never fear another snow fall again. Eliminate the “clogged chute” syndrome when moving wet or heavy.

(eg; very wet slush turns to ice in your chute), but for every 10. Times you previously had to clean out your chute, you “might”. Only need to do it once with this kit installed and you will see a. Noticeable increase in throwing distance regardless! This kit and turn your snow blower into the snow-moving beast it was. Examples of this modification and the effect on a snow blower’s. Performance, go to , search for. Some variation on that theme and watch the videos, or you can watch. This excellent video by ari p. Modification and its effect on your snow blower. Watch the video —->. And five blade kits are also available. See my other listings! The number generated by. Service, provide them with the export label # and ask them to check. The status of the package. Cannot do it for you! Leave me positive feedback. If you are dissatisfied in any. Way, or need assistance with this item, please let me know and i will. Try my best to resolve the issue to your complete satisfaction! You are ever dissatisfied with this product. You can return it for a. At no time shall. Indirect, resulting from the installation or use of any product. Guarantees, either expressed or implied, as to the specific results. Obtained through the installation of our products. Blower impeller kit t. What is the purpose of the. Blower impeller kit t? This kit reduces the. Existing “gap” between the snow blower’s impeller blades and the. The smaller the gap, the greater your. Machine’s operational efficiency and snow throwing capability , and the less likely that your machine will clog up with snow. The existing “gap” on your machine is between 1/4″ & 5/8″. Or greater, then your machine is losing a significant amount of. Efficiency and power in throwing snow. This loss in efficiency. Results in more clogging in your discharge chute, and less throwing. As with any impeller device snow blower, water pump, etc. , simple physics proves that maximum efficiency is achieved when. There is no gap between the impeller’s blades and the impeller. For any excellent explanation on this subject, watch. For allowing me to share this ari! How do i know if i. If you have a large gap between your impeller blades and the impeller. Chamber wall, your machine clogs up with snow frequently and it. Doesn’t throw snow very far anymore, then this kit might be for you. Some newer, more powerful snow blowers might have a significant gap. But still work fine, so the bottom line is this.. With your snow blower’s performance? The reason is that on. Machines with straight shaft mounted impellers (which most are) the. Impeller’s bearing wears over time and this wear causes some degree. Of “wobble” in the impeller’s rotation. If the metal impeller. Blade was made to fit “flush” against the metal cylinder. Walls with no gap, there would be no tolerance for rotational. They leave this gap to accommodate this “wobble”. If/when it happens and avoid a situation where you have metal. That could cause significant damage to the. Impeller and the cylinder walls in which it rotates requiring very. Since this modification uses rubber paddles. Which wear down evenly as they. Come in contact with the cylinder walls, any possible future “wobble”. In the impeller’s rotation is negated without compromising the snow. Blower’s operational integrity or efficiency at moving snow and. If i install your. Snow blower impeller kit t. Will it eliminate all clogging? Theoretically, yes, but the. Reality is that it depends on a number of things. Snow conditions, engine displacement, torque output, etc. For example, snow that has a. Water consistency of 40% or more (slush) can turn into ice in your. Snow blower’s discharge chute and clog the chute regardless of your. This kit reduces the likelihood of that. Can prevent that completely. Does engine size really matter? In most cases, yes, however don’t confuse engine size (whether rated in hp or ccs) with. The ability to move snow efficiently. Sure, a 10hp or 305cc engine. Has more potential power than a 5hp or 271 cc engine, but the power. Output and ability to move snow is much more dependent on impeller. Revolutions and torque than just engine size. Impeller spins and the larger your machine’s foot pounds of. Torque performance specification is, the greater its’ ability to. Power through snow of any consistency. Where the engine size is most. Important is in it’s ability to handle an increasing “load”. It is a misconception that all 10hp or 305cc. Machines are the same, because they might have different torque. Ratings or revolutions per minute. An approximate conversion chart courtesy of. 179 cc = 5 hp. 208 cc = 8 to 9 gross torque = 5.5 to 6. 277 cc = 11 to 11.5 gross torque = 7 to 8 hp. 13.5 to 14.5 gross torque = 9 to 10 hp. 342 cc = 15.5 to 16.5. Gross torque = 11 to 12 hp. 357 cc = 14 hp. 420 cc = 15 hp. What exactly is a. This kit contains all. Of the materials necessary to modify. Where are the materials in the kit made? A- each snow blower. Impeller kitt contains top quality. Made in the usa. Why would i ever order a single-blade kit? Might want a spare kit, or maybe you previously ordered a three-blade. Kit and later realized you really needed a four-blade kit. No, we offer a. Three, three and four, four and five blade kits. Each of these contains all of the materials necessary to modify. That number of impeller blades in your machine. For example, if your. Two-stage snowblower has three impeller blades, you can order either. The three-blade kit, or the three and four blade kit and keep the. Extra set as a spare. Can i install this kit on a two-stage snow blower with. Impeller blades because it is intended to be mounted on metal blades. I’m sorry but i just do not know if it would work, or if your plastic. Impeller blades would crack during installation or break during use. Because the drilled bolt holes have weakened the blades too much to. Of course, i do not know that the kit wouldn’t. Work as advertised either but quite honestly, i don’t think the. Plastic impeller blades would be strong enough or worth the risk. Recommendation is no but it’s your call! If the impeller blades did. Crack or break, you’d have to replace the entire impeller unit! How do i know whether your standard. Fit my impeller blades? Kit contains 1 3/8″w x 3 3/4″l metal straps and 2″w x 5″l. To determine if the standard kit will fit. The flat part of the top. Surface of your impeller blade, before it curls up. That determines the length of the metal strap and rubber paddle you. You can install these so that they wrap up on the curl as. Well, but i’ve found that the benefit is not worth the increase in. Difficulty you will have in modifying the kit to fit and then. Most of the work done in moving snow is done by the. Flat part of the impeller blade. If necessary, how do i modify the metal straps and/or rubber fit? You can cut the metal straps with a. Hacksaw and you can easily trim the rubber paddles to fit with a. Q:if i can’t, or don’t want to do it myself, can you customize my kit. Just measure the impeller. Blades as described previously and let me know what you want before. I’ll modify the kit to your specifications for your. Should the rubber paddles in your. Mounted so they are tightly pressing against the impeller chamber. They should be they are. Remember, any decrease in the gap between the. Impeller blades and the chamber wall will result in a significant. Improvement in operational efficiency and throwing distance! Should i be concerned about the metal brace on the underside of the. In some instances, the position of the metal brace might interfere. With the bolt holes and installation of the bolts w/lock-nuts used to. Secure the kit to the impeller blade. You need to make sure that. There is room to screw on the lock nuts on the underside of the. Impeller blade, otherwise, you might be able to use a self-tapping. Screw included in the kit. You need to have a minimum of 1/8 space. Between the underside brace and the lock nut in order to tighten the. Lock nut with a wrench. If you don’t, you will need to use a. What about obstructions in the impeller chamber walls? On some machines, there are round-headed carriage bolts that protrude. Into the impeller chamber wall. These bolt heads might interfere with. The rubber paddles as they rotate by causing damage to the paddles. It is very important to inspect your impeller chamber walls to see. If this situation exists! If it does, you can still install the. Kit but you have to leave a gap large enough so that the paddles will. Not come into contact with the protruding bolt heads. Idea of this kit is ideally to eliminate the gap, however any. Reduction of the gap will improve the efficiency and snow throwing. Capability of your machine! What else should i consider when “fitting” my rubber paddles impeller blades? You want to eliminate the existing gap as much as possible in all. Respects, so when you trim the rubber paddles for final fit, try to. Match the curvature of the impeller chamber walls’ sides and top as. Don’t install the rubber paddles. With more than 5/8 of rubber overhanging the leading edge of the. Because that seems to be the stress point for. These paddles and they might break off under heavy load conditions. Eg; heavy snow, slush, etc. Are self-tapping screws included? Foremost, drilling a hole through the metal impeller blades can be. Very difficult, so the included instruction sheet explains that you. Can use them to make a pilot hole where the bolt will go first, then. Drill out the pilot hole for the bolt which is so much easier. Certainly don’t have to do this but i’ve found it makes the job. Those instances where the brace on the underside of the impeller. Blade is in the way of where you would drill a bolt hole, a. Self-tapper screwed down next to, but not in to, the underside brace. Works well as an emergency substitute to the bolt & nut. The instruction sheet explains the risk/benefit scenario between. Self-tappers and bolts and specifically counsels this as an emergency. Measure, and the use of bolts in the other hole(s). The kit to the impeller blade to insure the integrity and strength of. Hence, there are self-tappers included to meet either. If you don’t need them, don’t use them! Why do you use zinc-coated steel instead of stainless steel. Components included in these kits are zinc plated grade 5 steel used because, while slightly less corrosion resistant than. Stainless steel, zinc plated grade 5 steel is harder and more. Durable, and is the most common bolt found in automotive. Stainless steel is an alloy of low carbon steel and. It is a common misconception that stainless steel is. Stronger than regular steel. In fact, due to the low carbon content, stainless steel cannot be hardened. Therefore when compared with. Regular steel it is slightly stronger than an un-hardened (grade 2). Steel fastener but significantly weaker than hardened grades 5 &. 8 and alloy steel steel fasteners. Stainless steel is more corrosion. Resistant than zinc-plated steel because the anti-corrosive. Properties are inherent to the metal, it will not lose this. Resistance if scratched during installation or use, while zinc-plated. And galvanized steel are, to some degree, more susceptible to. Corrosion over time when the surface coating is scratched. Application, it was decided that the difference in corrosion. Resistance was negligible over the typical useful life of a snow. Blower, and that the hardness and overall durability of zinc plated. Grade 5 steel was a superior choice for the hardware used in this. You are ever dissatisfied with this product, you can return it for a. What if i damaged a rubber paddle(s) and need a replacement rubber. Paddle(s), not a whole kit? First, try to determine exactly. What caused the rubber paddle to fail if you can and let us know that. Please include any pictures. Of the damage and provide us as much detail as to the circumstances. Surrounding the event as you can. Eg; snow/weather conditions, etc. If we determine that the cause of the damage. Due to a defect in the rubber, we. Will replace the damaged rubber paddles at no cost to you. Determine that the cause of the damage. Due to a defect in the rubber.
