To start the snow thrower, ensure it is on a flat surface. Turn the fuel valve to the 'On' position, insert the key into the ignition, and set the choke to 'Full'. Pull the starter handle gently until you feel resistance, then pull it briskly. Once the engine starts, gradually move the choke to the 'Run' position.
Use clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Avoid using gasoline with more than 10% ethanol as it can damage the engine.
Check if the fuel valve is open and ensure there is sufficient fuel in the tank. Verify that the ignition key is inserted properly. Inspect the spark plug for damage or wear and replace if necessary. Ensure the choke is set correctly for starting.
Before each use, check the engine oil level and add oil if necessary. Inspect the auger and impeller for any obstructions or damage. Ensure all nuts and bolts are tight and inspect the tires for proper inflation.
To change the oil, run the engine for a few minutes to warm it up, then turn off the engine. Place an oil pan under the drain plug, remove the plug, and allow the oil to drain completely. Replace the drain plug and refill with the recommended oil type and amount as specified in the user manual.
Excessive vibration can be caused by loose parts or debris in the auger. Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire. Inspect the auger, impeller, and surrounding areas for any debris or damage. Tighten any loose bolts or nuts.
To prepare for storage, drain the fuel from the tank or add a fuel stabilizer. Change the engine oil and remove the spark plug, adding a few drops of oil into the cylinder before replacing it. Clean the snow thrower thoroughly and store it in a dry, covered location.
The recommended tire pressure for the Toro Power Max 726TE 38611 is typically 17 psi. Always check the sidewall of the tire or the user manual for specific recommendations.
To adjust the skid shoes, position the snow thrower on a flat surface. Loosen the skid shoe bolts and adjust them to your desired height, ensuring the scraper bar is 1/8 to 1/4 inch above the surface for paved areas. Tighten the bolts securely.
If the auger does not engage, check the auger drive cable for proper tension and adjust if necessary. Inspect the belt for wear or damage and replace it if needed. Ensure the control lever is properly engaged.
