I'm just wondering if running a snow blower in the summer would harm the
engine because of insufficient cooling? It seems to me that you have

blower as you do on a rototiller.





Merely running the engine off-season is not sufficient.

The auger gearbox and drive mechanism need to be exercised as well so you should also walk it up and down your driveway a half dozen times or so.
