Poulan Pro 961980025 Snow Thrower F.A.Q.

How do I start the Poulan Pro 961980025 Snow Thrower?

To start the Poulan Pro 961980025 Snow Thrower, ensure the fuel tank is filled with fresh gasoline and the oil level is adequate. Turn the choke to the 'Full' position, set the throttle to 'Fast', and prime the engine by pressing the primer bulb three times. Then, pull the starter handle or use the electric start if available.

What should I do if my snow thrower won't start?

If your snow thrower won't start, check the fuel level and ensure it's fresh. Inspect the spark plug for damage or wear, and replace if necessary. Make sure the choke is set correctly, and verify that the primer bulb is functioning. If the problem persists, consult the user manual or contact a professional technician.

How do I maintain the auger of the snow thrower?

Regularly inspect the auger for wear and damage. After each use, clear any debris and snow to prevent rust. Lubricate moving parts as recommended in the user manual to ensure smooth operation. Replace any worn or damaged parts promptly.

What type of oil is recommended for the Poulan Pro 961980025?

Use a high-quality, 4-cycle engine oil with a viscosity rating of SAE 5W-30. This type of oil provides optimal performance in cold weather conditions. Refer to the user manual for specific oil change intervals and capacity.

How do I adjust the skid shoes on the snow thrower?

To adjust the skid shoes, loosen the nuts on each shoe and slide them up or down to your desired height. Tighten the nuts securely. Adjust the skid shoes to raise or lower the scraper bar, which helps to prevent damage to surfaces and ensures efficient snow clearing.

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

Check for any obstructions in the chute and auger area, and clear them if necessary. Ensure the throttle is set to 'Fast' and the auger drive is engaged. If the issue persists, inspect the auger and impeller for wear or damage and replace them as needed.

How do I properly store the snow thrower during the off-season?

Before storing the snow thrower, drain the fuel tank or add a fuel stabilizer to prevent fuel degradation. Clean the machine thoroughly, lubricate moving parts, and check for any needed repairs. Store the snow thrower in a dry, sheltered area to protect it from the elements.

How can I prevent the chute from clogging?

To prevent chute clogging, avoid running the snow thrower at a slow pace, as this can allow snow to build up. Use a non-stick spray on the chute and auger before use. Clearing snow immediately after it falls, rather than waiting, can also help reduce clogging.

What safety precautions should I take when operating the snow thrower?

Always wear appropriate clothing, including gloves and safety glasses. Clear the area of any debris or obstacles before starting. Never attempt to clear jams with your hands; use a clearing tool. Keep children and pets away from the working area.

How often should I change the spark plug on my Poulan Pro snow thrower?

It is recommended to check the spark plug at the beginning of each season and replace it if there are signs of wear or damage. A general guideline is to replace the spark plug every 100 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first.
