To start the Husqvarna ST 327, ensure it's on a flat surface, set the choke to full, and switch the throttle to the 'fast' position. Then, either use the electric starter by connecting it to a power source and pressing the start button or manually pull the recoil starter handle firmly. Once started, gradually move the choke to the off position.
The Husqvarna ST 327 Snow Blower requires clean, fresh unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87. Avoid using gasoline with more than 10% ethanol content.
Regular maintenance includes checking and replacing the spark plug annually, changing the oil every 25 hours of use or at the start of each season, inspecting the auger and impeller for damage, and lubricating all moving parts as specified in the user manual.
If the snow blower isn't throwing snow effectively, check if the chute is clogged and clear it if necessary. Ensure the auger and impeller are not damaged or worn out. Adjust the skid shoes and scraper bar to ensure they are set correctly for the surface.
To store the snow blower, clean it thoroughly and allow it to dry. Drain the fuel tank or add a fuel stabilizer to prevent fuel degradation. Store it in a dry, sheltered area and cover it to protect it from dust and debris.
Excessive vibration can be caused by an unbalanced auger or impeller, loose parts, or debris lodged in the auger housing. Inspect these components and remove any obstructions, tighten loose parts, and balance the auger as needed.
Always wear appropriate winter clothing, including goggles and gloves. Keep bystanders away from the operating area. Never attempt to clear the auger or chute without turning off the engine and removing the key. Use a cleaning tool or stick to clear blockages.
To adjust the skid shoes, place the snow blower on a flat surface. Loosen the nuts on the skid shoes and adjust their height to ensure the scraper bar is 1/8 inch above the ground for smooth surfaces, or higher for uneven surfaces, then retighten the nuts.
If the drive system isn't functioning, check the drive belt for wear or damage and replace it if necessary. Ensure the traction control cable is properly connected and adjusted. Inspect for any obstructions that might be hindering the drive system.
Yes, you can use the Husqvarna ST 327 on gravel driveways. Adjust the skid shoes to raise the scraper bar above the gravel surface to prevent stones from being picked up and thrown by the auger.
