What should I do if the snow thrower does not self-propel?

If the snow thrower does not self-propel, check the drive control cable for proper tension and adjust if necessary. Also, inspect the drive belt for wear or damage and replace if needed.

How do I adjust the skid shoes on the Toro Power Max 1028OHXE?

To adjust the skid shoes, place the snow thrower on a flat surface. Loosen the skid shoe nuts, adjust the shoes to the desired height, and retighten the nuts. Ensure both skid shoes are set at the same height for even clearing.
