The snap ring keeps coming off the back and it leaves me with a 2x Excursion. Not good in the snow. Am I doing something wrong?

It pops off like a car sun visor. Pull it and then push back in. Kinda tough, though.

Hi,I really haven't done much off road.The throttle switch is plastic and I was afraid it may break.I have done curbings,lawns,and some crappy roads.Handles well on these surfaces.The tires seem to be cracking on the sides.Little disappointed only had it a year.

You're suppose to pry the cover off with a coin. That is when mine broke. It also does not seem to work in cold weather.

Sorry, I have not used it in that situation (Mostly because I don't work well in heavy rain/snow. :) )

Try adjusting the rod at the base of the snow blower that connects to the arm by loosening the nut and turning the shaft inward to shortening it but first you will have to pull the pin at the handle that connects to the rod so you can turn it hope this helps you out

I used turnbuckles first, had a heavy wind and they twisted off, so went to heavy weight rope and fastened it down with redundant systems and it thus far has sailed through the winds. I am planning to take it down for our winter season and store it until next summer.

I live in a similar climate in central Oregon. If you ride fixed you will have more control over breaking. ( think driving a manual vs. automatic transmission). It is still pretty sketchy though. If you plan on riding in the snow a lot I would suggest riding a slightly smaller frame than you are used to because you will have more control. I think someone makes a studded tire also.

I try to stay on top of it so it doesn't get so deep but the main thing is how powdery the snow is. When it is really wet it is too heavy and ice is too hard. This works well within it's limitations.

Not sure what exactly you mean but I would suggest tightening the light and taping the metal peice that holds the lense in place so it doesn't rattle loose. Also the part where the light snaps into the mount tebds to connect loosely. You could try taping it or permenently gluing it in place in order to fix the loose connection. Also be aware that there is no indicator that warns you of a low battery so always hace it charge over night before you use it. Otherwise you might wind up ob the otherside of town and have the light suddenly go black like I did. Not fun riding along a busy road with no front light. That was an interesting ride home to say the least. I'm just glad it died before I hit the offroad trail around the lake that I had planned on riding around!

Yes, it's a little tricky in snow when it's stock and honestly sucks stock.. That's why after my first trip up north I took the coaster brake off, put a mtb rear disc hub, an adapter for disc brakes, hydraulic brakes and a mtb crankset with bashguard on. After that it's awesome, its still SUPER HEAVY but fun, my friends love it also.. Hope this helps and doesn't discourage you!

maybe... nothing falls off of mine... I start straight, then go back and forward in diagonal lines left to right (so I never raise it). When I am done with the Avalanche, I then use a "car snow brush" taped to a long "mop pole" just to brush off the residual snow that the Avalanche leaves on the edge of the roof.

John: V-belt ... checked manual before rolling to work ... only issue so far was chute collar which cracked during first use ... Since brand new product at that time, there were no replacement parts. They tried to give me a hard time but failed. It was replaced. LOL wishing you no snow ... ; )

I would return it. They don't do well in the extreme cold and it will probably die if it's not already gone. Sorry :(

Hi Julie, sorry it took so long to respond, but I really do enjoy this shovel. What you have to do, is... as you're lifting the snow, you basically jerk the shovel downward, - and thrust the snow forward. It may sound funny, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy. NO wear and tear on your back. Hope this helps you, and believe me, I'm hoping for SPRING! Good luck.
