Quick Maintenance Tips
Key Error Codes to Watch During Snowstorm Operations
A. Auger Overcurrent Errors:
Why isn't my auger working when blowing snow?
If your auger isn't functioning as expected, it could be due to a loose or damaged shear pin. The shear pin connects the auger to the shaft, allowing it work properly. If it's lose or broken, the auger won't operate efficiently or at all.
Decoding Heading DOP for Enhanced GPS Precision
"Heading DOP" (Horizontal Dilution Precision) measures how satellite geometry impacts the accuracy of directional GPS data. Lower values indicate better alignment and higher precision, while higher values point to reduced reliability. If the Heading DOP value exceeds 2, it normally indicates a weak GPS signal. This is typically caused by obstructions around the Yarbo Core. To ensure optimal performance, relocate the core to a clear, open space for better GPS signal strength.

- Use the scraper blade to clear the snow build-up on the RTK antennas and the auger, ensuring the snowblower is free of ice and snow to maintain smooth operation throughout a snowstorm.
- To improve Yarbo's performance during a snow storm, it's recommended you remove part or all of the protection fence of the snowblower. This will allow for more efficient snow clearing, especially in challenging conditions. Here's how to do it: Unscrew the three screws on each side of the fence. Once that's done, detach the lower bars by unscrewing them from the inside.
Key Error Codes to Watch During Snowstorm Operations
A. Auger Overcurrent Errors:
- 0A001: Auger may be frozen or obstructed. Action: Check for ice or debris, then press "Clear Error."
- 0A002 / 0A003: Snow is too thick. Action: Let Yarbo rest before resuming.
- OC001 / OC002 / OC003: Chute may be blocked. Action: Clear blockages and press "Clear Error."
- OD001 / OD002 / OD003: Deflector may be obstructed. Action: Clear blockages and press "Clear Error."
