How to Replace the Track Side Plate on Your Yarbo Snow Blower – Step-by-Step Guide

[2024] How to Replace Track Side Plate

Purpose of the Track Side Plate

The Track Side Plate is an important component designed to prevent snow from accumulating inside the tracks and reaching the motors, which could lead to operational malfunctions during snow removal. Your Yarbo Core comes with two plastic-painted Track Side Plates pre-installed. To enhance performance during snow-blowing, we recommend replacing the plastic side plates with the more robust metal Track Side Plates when you install the Snow Blower module. track side plate

When to Replace the Track Side Plates

When you are ready to attach the Snow Blower Module to Yarbo, it’s the ideal time to replace
the Track Side Plates with the metal version. The metal Track Side Plates provide better durability
and optimal snow-blowing performance, ensuring that Yarbo continues to operate effectively
in snowy conditions.

    accumulation compared to the plastic version.
  • Better Durability: They are more resistant to impact and wear, making them suitable for
    heavy-duty snow-clearing operations.
  • Improved Performance: By keeping the tracks clear of snow, the metal side plates ensure
    consistent performance without interruptions due to motor clogging.
