Poulan Pro PO5524 Snow Blower F.A.Q.

How do I start the Poulan Pro PO5524 Snow Blower?

To start the Poulan Pro PO5524 Snow Blower, ensure it is on a flat surface. Insert the key, set the choke to the "full" position, and prime the engine three times. Pull the starter handle or use the electric start if available. Once the engine starts, gradually move the choke to the "run" position.

What should I do if the snow blower won't start?

If the snow blower won't start, check the fuel level and ensure fresh fuel is used. Verify that the spark plug is clean and in good condition. Check the fuel line for blockages and ensure the choke and throttle settings are correct.

How often should I change the oil in my snow blower?

Change the oil in your Poulan Pro PO5524 Snow Blower after the first 5 hours of use, then every 25 hours of operation or at the start of each season. Always use the type of oil recommended in the owner's manual.

How do I adjust the skid shoes?

To adjust the skid shoes, loosen the mounting nuts. Adjust the shoes to the desired height, ensuring they are even on both sides. Tighten the nuts securely. This adjustment helps prevent damage to the auger and provides better snow clearing performance.

What should I do if the auger is not turning?

If the auger is not turning, check for obstructions in the auger housing. Ensure the auger drive belt is not broken or slipping. Inspect the shear pins and replace them if necessary, as they are designed to break to protect the auger from damage.

How do I store the snow blower during the off-season?

Before storing the snow blower, run the engine until the fuel tank is empty. Clean the equipment thoroughly, removing dirt and debris. Check for any needed repairs and lubricate metal parts to prevent rust. Store in a dry and sheltered location.

What type of fuel is recommended for the Poulan Pro PO5524?

Use fresh, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Avoid using gasoline with more than 10% ethanol content to prevent engine damage. Consider using a fuel stabilizer to extend the life of the fuel.

How do I replace the spark plug?

To replace the spark plug, disconnect the spark plug wire. Use a spark plug wrench to remove the old plug. Install the new spark plug, ensuring it is gapped correctly as per the manual. Reattach the spark plug wire securely.

Why is the snow blower not throwing snow far enough?

If the snow blower is not throwing snow far enough, check the chute and auger for blockages. Ensure the auger and impeller are moving freely. Inspect the drive belt for wear and adjust or replace if necessary.

How can I improve the traction of my snow blower?

To improve traction, consider adding tire chains or using snow tires. Adjust the skid shoes to allow for better ground contact. Ensure the weight is distributed evenly and consider adding weights if necessary.
