To start the Toro Power Max 826LE, ensure the fuel valve is open, set the choke to the "Full" position, and pull the starter handle or use the electric start button. Once the engine starts, gradually move the choke to the "Run" position.
The Toro Power Max 826LE should be fueled with fresh unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Avoid using gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol.
Regularly inspect the auger for wear and damage. Lubricate the auger shaft annually with a light oil and ensure the shear pins are intact and properly installed.
Check if the chute is clogged and clear any obstructions. Ensure the auger and impeller are not worn or damaged. Additionally, make sure the throttle is set to the maximum speed.
Run the engine until it stops to empty the fuel tank, change the oil, and clean the machine. Store it in a dry place and cover it to protect from dust and moisture.
Use SAE 5W-30 oil for the Toro Power Max 826LE engine. For best performance, consider using Toro's synthetic 4-cycle engine oil.
Check the fuel level and ensure the fuel is fresh. Inspect the spark plug for wear or damage and replace if necessary. Verify that the throttle, choke, and fuel valve are in the correct positions.
First, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Remove the belt cover, then release the tension on the belt and remove it from the pulleys. Install the new belt in the reverse order and reassemble the cover.
Stop the engine and inspect for damaged or loose parts, especially the auger and impeller. Tighten any loose bolts and replace damaged components as necessary.
Place the snow thrower on a flat surface. Loosen the nuts on the skid shoes and adjust them to the desired height. Tighten the nuts securely after adjustment.
