Poulan Pro PR524 Snow Blower F.A.Q.

How do I properly start the Poulan Pro PR524 snow blower?

To start the Poulan Pro PR524 snow blower, ensure the fuel tank is filled and the oil level is correct. Set the choke to the 'full' position, prime the engine 2-3 times, and then pull the starter handle or use the electric starter if available. Once started, gradually move the choke to the 'run' position.

What should I do if the snow blower does not start?

If the snow blower does not start, check the fuel level, ensure the fuel is fresh, and verify the spark plug is clean and properly gapped. Additionally, inspect the fuel line for blockages and ensure the choke and throttle are correctly set.

How often should I change the oil in my Poulan Pro PR524?

The oil in your Poulan Pro PR524 should be changed after the first 5 hours of use and then every 25 hours of operation or once per season, whichever comes first. Use a high-quality 5W-30 oil for best performance.

What maintenance steps should I follow to keep my snow blower in good condition?

Regularly check and replace the spark plug, inspect the belts for wear, lubricate the moving parts, and clean the snow blower after each use. Additionally, ensure the skid shoes and scraper bar are adjusted correctly and replace them if worn.

How can I prevent the auger from clogging with snow?

To prevent the auger from clogging, avoid snow that is too wet or icy, and do not attempt to clear snow too quickly. You can also apply a non-stick spray to the auger and chute to help snow pass through more smoothly.

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

If the snow blower is not throwing snow far enough, check the auger and impeller for clogs, ensure the chute is clear, and inspect the belts for wear and proper tension. Adjust the throttle to full speed for maximum performance.

How do I adjust the skid shoes and scraper bar for optimal performance?

To adjust the skid shoes and scraper bar, place the snow blower on a flat surface. Loosen the skid shoe bolts and set them to the desired height, ensuring the scraper bar is about 1/8 inch off the ground. Retighten the bolts securely.

What is the proper way to store the snow blower during the offseason?

To store the snow blower during the offseason, drain the fuel or add a fuel stabilizer, change the oil, clean the machine thoroughly, and lubricate all moving parts. Store it in a dry, sheltered area to prevent rust and damage.

How do I replace the spark plug on the Poulan Pro PR524?

To replace the spark plug, first disconnect the spark plug wire. Use a spark plug wrench to remove the old plug, then install the new one by hand to avoid cross-threading. Tighten with the wrench and reconnect the spark plug wire securely.

What type of fuel is recommended for the Poulan Pro PR524 snow blower?

The Poulan Pro PR524 snow blower requires clean, fresh unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87 and no more than 10% ethanol content. Avoid using stale or old gasoline to ensure optimal performance.
