Toro Power Max 828LE 38635 Snow Thrower F.A.Q.

How do I start the Toro Power Max 828LE 38635 Snow Thrower?

To start the Toro Power Max 828LE, ensure the fuel valve is open, the choke is in the ON position, and the throttle is set to FAST. Pull the recoil starter or use the electric start button if available. Once started, move the choke to the OFF position.

What should I do if the snow thrower doesn't start?

Check that the fuel tank is filled with fresh gasoline and the spark plug is connected. Ensure the choke is engaged and the throttle is set to FAST. If it still doesn’t start, inspect the spark plug for damage or fouling and replace if necessary.

How do I maintain the auger and impeller on my Toro Power Max 828LE?

Regularly check the auger and impeller for any debris or ice buildup. Lubricate the auger shaft annually with a suitable lubricant. Inspect the shear pins for wear or damage and replace them if needed.

How often should the oil be changed on the Toro Power Max 828LE?

Change the engine oil after the first 5 hours of use, and then annually or every 25 hours of operation, whichever comes first. Ensure the engine is off and cool before changing the oil.

What type of oil should I use in the Toro Power Max 828LE?

Use a high-quality SAE 5W-30 oil for general use. For temperatures below 0°F (-18°C), a synthetic 0W-30 oil is recommended for easier starting.

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

Install tire chains or use Toro's available tire weight kit to improve traction on icy surfaces. Ensure the tires are inflated to the recommended pressure for optimal performance.

What should I do if the snow thrower is not throwing snow far enough?

Ensure the discharge chute is not clogged and is set to the desired direction. Check the auger and impeller for obstructions and wear. Adjust the engine speed to FAST for maximum throwing distance.

How do I store the Toro Power Max 828LE for the off-season?

Drain the fuel tank and run the engine until it stops. Change the oil, remove the spark plug, and add a teaspoon of oil into the cylinder. Reattach the spark plug without connecting the wire. Clean the unit and store it in a dry place.

What should I check if the snow thrower is vibrating excessively?

Inspect the auger and impeller for any damage or lodged debris. Check the engine mounting bolts and other fasteners for tightness. If the problem persists, consult a Toro service dealer.

How do I adjust the skid shoes on my Toro Power Max 828LE?

Loosen the skid shoe bolts and raise or lower them to the desired height. For paved surfaces, set them lower to scrape the ground. For gravel surfaces, raise them to prevent picking up stones. Tighten the bolts securely after adjustment.
