What should I do if my snow thrower won't start?

Check the fuel level and ensure that fresh, clean fuel is used. Verify that the spark plug is clean and properly connected. Ensure that the fuel shut-off valve is open, and the choke and throttle are correctly set. If the problem persists, consult the user manual or a professional technician.

How do I maintain the auger and impeller of the snow thrower?

Regularly inspect the auger and impeller for wear or damage. Lubricate the auger shaft at least once per season. Replace any worn or damaged parts to ensure optimal performance and safety.

What type of fuel should I use for the Toro Power Max 826 OTE 37777?

Use fresh, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87 and an ethanol content not exceeding 10%. Avoid using stale or contaminated fuel to prevent engine issues.

How do I adjust the skid shoes on the snow thrower?

Place the snow thrower on a flat surface. Loosen the skid shoe mounting nuts and adjust the skid shoes to the desired height. Ensure both skid shoes are set at the same height to prevent uneven wear and retighten the nuts securely.

Why is my snow thrower leaving snow behind?

Check if the scraper blade is worn and needs replacement. Verify that the skid shoes are properly adjusted to the correct height. Also, ensure that the auger and impeller are not damaged or obstructed.

How often should I change the engine oil?

Change the engine oil after the first five hours of operation, then annually or every 25 hours of use, whichever comes first. Regular oil changes improve engine performance and longevity.

What is the recommended storage procedure for the snow thrower?

For off-season storage, drain the fuel tank or add a fuel stabilizer. Clean the snow thrower thoroughly, lubricate all moving parts, and store it in a dry, protected area. Disconnect the spark plug to prevent accidental starting.

How can I improve traction on icy surfaces with my snow thrower?

Consider installing tire chains or using Toro wheel weights to enhance traction. Ensure that the tires are properly inflated and adjust the skid shoes to the correct height.

What should I do if the snow thrower's engine is running rough?

Check the air filter and clean or replace it if necessary. Inspect the spark plug for fouling and replace it if needed. Ensure that fresh fuel is being used and that all fuel lines are clear.
