If the snow thrower won't start, check the fuel level and ensure that the fuel is fresh. Verify that the spark plug is in good condition and properly connected. Make sure the choke is set correctly and the primer bulb has been pressed the recommended number of times.

How do I adjust the skid shoes on my Poulan Pro PP1130SB?

To adjust the skid shoes, loosen the mounting nuts on each side and adjust the shoes to the desired height. For paved surfaces, set them low; for gravel, raise them to avoid picking up debris. Tighten the nuts securely after adjustments.
