¶ Understanding Wet Snow
Wet snow typically forms when temperatures are close to freezing — around –1°C to +1°C (30°F to 34°F). At this range, snow partially melts, becoming heavier, wetter, and more prone to sticking or clogging the chute.. This type of snow is harder to blow and more likely to clog the chute or auger.
¶ Recommended Settings & Adjustments
¶ Early Snow Removal
Start clearing early before the snow compacts or refreezes. You can also schedule an early pass in the Yarbo App to stay ahead of accumulation.
¶ Auger Speed → Turbo
Select Turbo Mode for the strongest snow intake.
Note: Turbo Mode limits driving speed to Slow/Medium for stability.
¶ Higher Overlap
- For wet, heavy snow, a higher overlap ensures complete clearing and prevents snow buildup between passes.
¶ Open the Intake
For better airflow, remove the snow plume diverter and the lower bars of the protection fence.
This helps prevent snow buildup and improves clearing efficiency.

¶ Add a Slick Layer
Apply a ceramic coating to the auger and chute to minimize sticking.
Do not spray near RTK antennas or sensors.
¶ Clear Jams Safely
If clogging occurs:
- Press the Emergency Stop button.
- Use the clean-out tool to remove packed snow.
- Tap Clear Error in the app if needed before resuming.
¶ Using the Plow Blade for Wet Snow
- The Plow Blade is ideal for extremely wet or slushy snow, which is often too dense for normal blowing.
- After attaching the Plow Blade, Yarbo will push snow out of the working area instead of blowing it.
- For best results, set the auger height as low as possible so the blade stays close to the ground.
- The Plow Blade works best when the snow depth is moderate (less than 10 cm / 4 in).

¶ Using the Snow Blower in Wet Conditions
Even when some snow chunks stick to the auger or chute, Yarbo can still clear effectively with proper settings:
- Set Movement Speed to Slowest (App → Settings → Work Preference).
- Use Turbo Auger Speed to increase intake efficiency.
- Run an additional cleaning pass if needed to achieve full coverage.
