Toro 724 38073 Operator's Manual

To start the Toro 724 38073 Snow Thrower, first ensure that the unit is on a flat surface. Connect the power cord to a grounded outlet if using electric start, or insert the key into the ignition. Set the choke to the ON position, and then pull the starter handle or press the electric start button. Once the engine starts, gradually move the choke to the OFF position.
Use fresh, clean, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Do not use gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol to avoid engine damage.
If the snow thrower won't start, check the fuel level and ensure it is fresh. Make sure the spark plug is clean and properly connected. Verify the choke is set to the correct position, and that the ignition key is fully inserted. Additionally, inspect the fuel line for blockages.
Regular maintenance for the Toro 724 38073 includes checking and changing the oil, inspecting and replacing the spark plug if necessary, lubricating the auger and impeller, and inspecting the belts for wear. Clean the machine after each use to prevent debris buildup.
To adjust the skid shoes, loosen the nuts securing them and raise or lower the skid shoes to the desired height. Ensure both skid shoes are adjusted evenly, then retighten the nuts to secure them in place.
If the snow thrower is not performing efficiently, check the auger and impeller for clogs or damage. Clear any blockages and replace damaged parts if necessary. Ensure the discharge chute is not obstructed and is properly aligned.
To store the snow thrower, drain the fuel tank or add a fuel stabilizer to prevent fuel deterioration. Clean the unit thoroughly and apply a rust preventative to metal parts. Store the machine in a dry, covered area to protect it from the elements.
Yes, synthetic oil can be used in the Toro 724 38073. Use a high-quality synthetic oil with the appropriate viscosity rating as specified in the owner's manual, typically 5W-30 for winter conditions.
To replace the drive belt, first disconnect the spark plug wire for safety. Remove the belt cover and detach the old belt from the pulleys. Install the new belt, ensuring it is properly seated on all pulleys, then reattach the belt cover and reconnect the spark plug wire.
Excessive vibration may be caused by loose parts or an unbalanced impeller. Inspect the snow thrower for loose bolts and tighten them as needed. Check the impeller and auger for damage or ice buildup, and balance or replace parts if necessary.
