Hi, i had my Yarbo S1 past a week now, it has already worked a lot clearing my driveway. but two days ago, a knocking/grinding sound could be heared, i took the unit indoor to let it melt overnight, checked the timing belt drive in the snow module, turning the auger by hand, wiggled it, checked every piece of it, but nothing sound/ felt loose. Already contacted the shop here in Norway to give them a heads up about a possible issue soon to occur. i just wanted to let you guys on the forum know, also the Yarbo team.
Is the impeller or auger bouncing a little? That’s what it sounds like. Could be some ice still causing an imbalance.
If you have any ongoing concerns about the noise or potential issue, please feel free to submit a support ticket. Our team will be happy to look into it further and help identify the root cause.

No ice at all, the unit was indoor overnight
I have already contacted the shop here in Norway, they told me to continue to use the module, ill guess they want me to run it normally until it breaks down, then ill hope for a new one in replacement.
I heard similar noise; the same weird sound (cranking sound) just before the timing belt was fully failed. I’d recommend that 1) check the anything inside impeller (rotor); 2) disconnect S1 (snowblower) unit and close check the timing belt is intact or not.
