To start the Toro Power Clear 1128OHXE, ensure the fuel valve is open, the choke is set to full, and the throttle is in the fast position. Then, pull the recoil starter or use the electric starter if equipped.
Check if the chute is clogged with snow and clear it if necessary. Ensure the impeller and auger are not worn and are spinning correctly. Adjust the chute deflector for a better throwing distance.
Change the oil after the first 2 hours of operation, then annually or after every 25 hours of use, whichever comes first.
Use clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) is acceptable.
Clean the snow thrower thoroughly, drain the fuel or add a fuel stabilizer, change the oil, and store it in a dry, sheltered area. Remove the spark plug and add a few drops of oil into the cylinder to prevent rust.
Check the auger control cable for proper tension and adjust it if necessary. Inspect the shear pins and replace them if they are broken.
To replace the spark plug, first disconnect the spark plug wire. Use a spark plug wrench to remove the old spark plug, then install the new one and reconnect the wire. Ensure the gap is set to the manufacturer's specifications.
Regularly check the drive belt for wear and tension. Adjust or replace the belt as needed. Ensure the drive system is lubricated according to the manufacturer's guidelines.
Loosen the skid shoe mounting bolts and adjust the skid shoes to the desired height. Ensure both sides are set evenly to avoid uneven wear and tighten the bolts securely.
Excessive vibration may be caused by loose parts or imbalanced components. Check for loose fasteners, ensure the impeller and auger are not damaged or imbalanced, and inspect the engine mounts.
