To start the Toro Power Max 826LE 38621, ensure the fuel valve is open, set the choke to full, and turn the ignition key. Then, pull the recoil starter or use the electric start button if available.
Use clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Avoid using ethanol blends higher than 10%.
Regular maintenance includes checking the engine oil level, inspecting the auger and impeller for wear, tightening loose bolts, and lubricating moving parts as needed.
Check the fuel level and make sure it is fresh, ensure the spark plug is connected and clean, and verify that the ignition key is inserted properly.
To adjust the skid shoes, loosen the mounting nuts and adjust the height so the scraper is approximately 1/8 inch above the ground. Retighten the nuts securely.
Change the oil after the first two hours of operation and then after every 25 hours of use or once per season, whichever comes first.
Drain the fuel or add a fuel stabilizer, change the oil, and clean the snow thrower thoroughly before storing it in a dry, covered area.
To replace the drive belt, remove the belt cover, release the belt tension, and remove the old belt. Install the new belt following the same path and re-tension it properly.
Check for clogs in the chute, ensure the auger and impeller are not worn out, and make sure the engine is running at full throttle.
Turn off the engine, remove the ignition key, and use a long stick or chute cleaning tool to clear the blockage. Never use your hands.
