To start your Poulan Pro PP8527ES Snow Thrower, make sure it is on a level surface. Connect the machine to a power source if using the electric start, or ensure the fuel tank has fresh gasoline for manual start. Set the choke to the full position, prime the engine by pressing the primer bulb 2-3 times, and then pull the starter cord or press the electric start button. Once the engine starts, gradually move the choke to the 'run' position.
Use regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87. Do not use gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol, as it can damage the engine. Make sure the fuel is fresh to ensure optimal performance.
It is recommended to change the oil after the first 5 hours of use and then after every 25 hours of operation or at the start of each snow season. Always refer to the user manual for specific oil change instructions and recommended oil type.
If the snow thrower won't start, check the following: ensure the fuel tank has fresh gasoline, the spark plug is clean and properly connected, and the choke is set correctly. Also, check the oil level, and ensure the primer bulb is working. If all else fails, consult the user manual or contact a professional for assistance.
Regularly inspect the auger and impeller for damage or wear. Clear any debris or ice buildup after each use. Lubricate the auger shaft at least once a season with a suitable lubricant to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation.
To prevent chute clogging, avoid overloading the snow thrower by working at a steady pace. Use a non-stick spray on the chute and auger to help reduce snow buildup, and make sure the snow is not too wet or heavy when using the machine.
At the end of the season, clean the snow thrower thoroughly, drain the fuel or add a fuel stabilizer to prevent deterioration, change the oil, and inspect the machine for any necessary repairs. Store it in a dry, protected area to prevent rust and damage.
Excessive vibration can be caused by an unbalanced impeller or auger, loose parts, or debris lodged in the machine. Inspect the snow thrower for any loose bolts and remove any obstructions. If the issue persists, consult a professional for further inspection.
To replace the drive belt, first disconnect the spark plug wire for safety. Remove the belt cover and loosen the belt tensioner to free the old belt. Install the new belt, ensuring it is properly seated on the pulleys, and adjust the tensioner as needed. Reattach the belt cover and reconnect the spark plug wire.
If your snow thrower is not throwing snow far enough, check for a clogged chute or auger, and clear any obstructions. Ensure the auger and impeller are not worn out and are functioning properly. Adjust the chute deflector angle for optimal distance.
