If the snow thrower won't start, check the fuel level and ensure fresh fuel is used. Verify that the spark plug is in good condition and properly connected. Also, ensure the safety key is inserted correctly and the choke is set appropriately for the temperature.

How often should I change the oil in my Toro Power Max 826 OHAE 37802?

Change the oil after the first 2 hours of operation, then annually or every 25 operating hours, whichever comes first. Use the recommended oil type and follow the instructions in the owner's manual for proper disposal of used oil.

What type of fuel is recommended for this snow thrower?

Use fresh, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Avoid using gasoline with more than 10% ethanol content. For optimal performance, consider using a fuel stabilizer if the fuel will not be used within 30 days.

How do I adjust the skid shoes on my Toro Power Max 826 OHAE 37802?

To adjust the skid shoes, loosen the nuts securing them, adjust to the desired height ensuring even ground clearance, and then retighten the nuts. Proper adjustment helps protect surfaces from damage and ensures efficient snow clearing.

Regular maintenance includes checking and tightening all fasteners, inspecting and replacing the spark plug annually, lubricating moving parts, and checking the condition of belts and cables. Consult your owner's manual for a detailed maintenance schedule.

How can I prevent the chute from clogging during use?

To prevent chute clogging, operate the snow thrower at full throttle and avoid overloading it. Clear snow frequently and avoid heavy, wet snow if possible. Consider applying a non-stick spray to the chute and auger to reduce build-up.

What should I do if the snow thrower is leaving a thin layer of snow?

Ensure the skid shoes and scraper bar are properly adjusted. If the scraper bar is worn, it may need replacement. Verify that the snow thrower is operating at full throttle and that the auger and impeller are not damaged or worn.

How do I safely store my Toro Power Max 826 OHAE 37802 after the season?

To store your snow thrower, drain the fuel tank or add fuel stabilizer to prevent engine issues. Clean the machine thoroughly and apply a light oil coating to prevent rust. Store in a dry place and cover to protect from dust and debris.

Excessive vibration may be caused by loose parts or a damaged auger or impeller. Stop the engine and inspect for any loose bolts, nuts, or damaged components. Tighten loose parts and replace any damaged components as necessary.
