Poulan Pro 961980019 Snow Thrower F.A.Q.

How do I start the Poulan Pro 961980019 Snow Thrower?

To start the Poulan Pro 961980019 Snow Thrower, first ensure that the fuel tank is filled with fresh gasoline. Set the choke to full, prime the engine 2-3 times using the primer bulb, and pull the starter handle or use the electric start if available.

What type of oil should I use for the engine?

Use SAE 5W-30 engine oil for the Poulan Pro 961980019 Snow Thrower, especially in cold conditions, to ensure optimal performance and protection.

How can I troubleshoot if the snow thrower doesn't start?

If the snow thrower doesn't start, check for fresh fuel and proper oil levels. Ensure the spark plug is clean and properly connected. Verify the choke and primer are used correctly and inspect the fuel line for any blockages.

What is the recommended maintenance schedule for this model?

Perform regular maintenance including checking the oil level before each use, changing the oil every 25 hours of operation, inspecting and replacing the spark plug annually, and cleaning the air filter regularly.

How do I prevent the auger from clogging with snow?

To prevent clogging, clear snow steadily without rushing. Avoid wet, heavy snow accumulation and use a non-stick spray on the auger and chute to facilitate snow movement.

What should I do if the snow thrower is not throwing snow far enough?

Check if the auger and impeller are clear of debris and ice. Inspect the drive belt for wear and tension, as a loose or worn belt can reduce throwing distance. Adjust the chute direction and angle for optimal snow output.

How can I safely store the snow thrower during the off-season?

Drain the fuel or add a fuel stabilizer, clean the machine thoroughly, check for any repairs needed, and store the snow thrower in a dry, protected area to avoid rust and damage.

How often should I replace the drive belt?

Inspect the drive belt regularly for signs of wear or damage. Replace it if there are any cracks, fraying, or if it slips during operation. Typically, belts should be checked annually and replaced as needed.

Can I use the snow thrower on gravel driveways?

Yes, you can use the snow thrower on gravel by adjusting the skid shoes to raise the auger housing, preventing gravel from being picked up and thrown.

What safety precautions should I take before using the snow thrower?

Always wear appropriate winter clothing and safety goggles. Ensure the area is clear of obstacles, and keep children and pets away from the operating area. Read the manual thoroughly before use to understand the controls and safety features.
