To start the Toro Power Max 828OAE 38838 Snow Thrower, ensure the fuel valve is open, set the choke to 'Full', and press the primer bulb three times. Pull the starter handle or use the electric start button if equipped.
Use a high-quality SAE 5W-30 oil for optimal performance in cold weather conditions. Refer to the user manual for oil capacity and specifications.
The chute direction can be adjusted using the Quick Stick chute control located on the control panel. Move the handle to change the direction of the snow discharge.
Check the fuel level and ensure the fuel valve is open. Verify that the spark plug is in good condition and the throttle is set to 'Fast'. If the problem persists, consult the troubleshooting section of the manual.
Routine maintenance includes checking and changing the oil, inspecting the spark plug, lubricating the moving parts, and checking the auger and impeller for damage. Follow the maintenance schedule in the manual.
Always turn off the engine before clearing a clogged chute. Use a clean-out tool or stick to remove the obstruction. Never use your hands to clear the chute.
Drain the fuel system or add a fuel stabilizer, clean the machine thoroughly, and store it in a dry place. Disconnect the spark plug to prevent accidental starting.
Refer to the maintenance section of the manual. Typically, you need to remove the belt cover, release the belt tension, and replace the belt with a new one, ensuring it is properly seated on the pulleys.
Check for any clogs in the chute or auger. Ensure that the auger and impeller are not damaged and the engine is running at full throttle. Adjust the chute angle for better performance.
Change the spark plug every season or after 100 hours of operation, whichever comes first. Check periodically for wear or damage.
