Ensure the fuel tank is filled with fresh gasoline. Turn the ignition key to the "Run" position. Press the primer bulb three times. Pull the starter handle until the engine starts.
Regular maintenance includes checking and replacing the spark plug annually, changing the oil after every 25 hours of use, and inspecting the auger and belts for wear or damage.
Check for obstructions in the chute or auger. Ensure the auger drive belt is not worn or loose. Adjust the chute deflector to alter the throwing distance.
Verify the fuel is fresh and the tank is full. Check the spark plug for fouling or damage. Ensure the engine switch is in the "Run" position and the fuel valve is open.
Inspect the auger and impeller for damage or foreign objects. Check all bolts and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Balance the impeller if necessary.
Disconnect the spark plug for safety. Remove the belt cover and release tension on the belt. Remove the old belt and install the new one, ensuring it is properly seated on the pulleys. Reattach the belt cover.
Use clean, fresh unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Avoid using gasoline with more than 10% ethanol content.
Drain the fuel tank or add a fuel stabilizer. Clean the snow thrower thoroughly and apply a light oil to prevent rust. Store in a dry, sheltered area away from direct sunlight.
Place the snow thrower on a flat surface. Loosen the skid shoe mounting bolts. Adjust the skid shoes so that the scraper blade is 1/8 inch above the ground. Tighten the mounting bolts securely.
Disconnect the spark plug wire. Use a spark plug wrench to remove the old spark plug. Install the new spark plug, ensuring it is properly gapped. Reattach the spark plug wire.
