To start the Toro 31410 Snow Thrower, ensure the fuel valve is open, set the choke to the full position, and pull the starter handle rapidly. If the engine is warm, you may not need to choke it.
Use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87. Avoid using gas with more than 10% ethanol as it may damage the engine.
Change the oil after the first 2 hours of operation and then once every 25 hours of use or annually, whichever comes first.
Ensure the fuel tank has fresh gasoline, the spark plug is clean and properly gapped, and the choke is set correctly. Check for any blockages in the fuel line or carburetor.
Regularly inspect the auger for any signs of wear or damage. Tighten loose bolts and lubricate moving parts according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Check for any clogs in the chute or auger, ensure the auger is rotating properly, and verify that the engine is running at the correct speed.
Drain the fuel tank or add a fuel stabilizer, change the oil, and store the snow thrower in a dry, sheltered area. Cover it to protect from dust and moisture.
Use a non-stick spray on the auger and chute to prevent clogging. Operate the snow thrower at a slower pace to allow the machine to process the heavier snow.
Check the air filter and spark plug for dirt or damage. Ensure the fuel is fresh and the carburetor is clean. Adjust the throttle and engine speed settings as necessary.
Loosen the mounting nuts on the skid shoes, adjust them to the desired height, and then retighten the nuts. Ensure both skid shoes are set evenly to avoid uneven wear.
