Snowblower auger anti freeze (skip night time)

Auger anti freeze option is great, although I cannot have it during nights 8 pm till 8 am municipality laws and to not wake up my neighbors. Could your add an option that does the other movements except turning on the auger? from x to y time, it’s a great feature I want to turn on but I can’t risk it, the auger noise turning on and turning off at night many times is enough to make my neighbors and family, hate me.

The option for the auger is already there, however you should not be able to hear it at all. It moves extremely slow.

Thank you Bryan, I have seen it but I didn’t know it moved slow then it should be good although it could be even better if it will do it only when there is freezing rain. Maybe it is already the case, if so it should be better mentioned.

It activates when below freezing and runs every 30 mins because even if there isn’t freezing rain or actively snowing there could be build up inside the snow blower that melts and refreezes. This keeps things moving and helps prevent sticking.

Makes sense, thanks.

My auger or second stage (I’m not sure), froze overnight last night. It was below 0c but not terribly cold. I did have it set to not charge overnight to preserve battery health. Anti-Freeze mode was active, is it possible it isn’t on if the unit isn’t charging? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I feel like it wouldn’t be on during the no charge time. Hopefully @Yarbo-Forum can confirm if this is the case and intentional. Seems like it would need to be added to this function if it won’t.
