Poulan Pro 96194000601 Operator's Manual

To start the Poulan Pro 96194000601 Snow Blower, ensure that the fuel shut-off valve is open, set the throttle to the fast position, engage the choke if the engine is cold, and pull the starter handle or use the electric start button if equipped.
Use fresh, clean, unleaded gasoline with a minimum of 87 octane. Do not use gasoline with more than 10% ethanol to prevent engine damage.
Regular maintenance includes checking and changing the oil, inspecting and replacing the spark plug, examining belts and augers for wear, and lubricating moving parts as specified in the user manual.
If the snow blower does not start, check for sufficient fuel, ensure the spark plug is clean and properly connected, verify that the choke is engaged for a cold start, and confirm that the safety key is inserted.
To adjust the skid shoes, loosen the mounting nuts, raise or lower the skid shoes to the desired height to accommodate the surface being cleared, and then retighten the nuts securely.
The recommended oil type is SAE 5W-30 for cold weather conditions. Always check the oil level before use and maintain it at the recommended level.
Turn off the engine and remove the ignition key. Use a clean-out tool or stick, not your hands, to remove the snow from the chute. Avoid standing in front of the chute while clearing.
Check for a clogged chute or auger, ensure the drive belt is not worn or loose, and verify that the impeller is free of debris. Adjusting the chute deflector angle might also help.
Drain the fuel or add a fuel stabilizer, change the oil, clean the machine, inspect for any worn parts, and store it in a dry, covered area to prevent rust and damage.
Use the snow blower at a slower pace, adjust the skid shoes for better ground clearance, and ensure the auger and impeller are clear of ice and snow buildup for optimal performance.
