To start the Toro Power Shift 624 38500, ensure the fuel shut-off valve is open, the choke is engaged, and the throttle is set to high. Then, pull the starter handle or press the electric start button if equipped.
Use clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Avoid using ethanol blends above 10% as they can damage the engine.
Change the oil after the first five hours of use, then once every 25 hours of operation or at the beginning of each season. Always check oil levels before each use.
Check for a worn or damaged auger, impeller, or belts. Ensure there is no snow or ice buildup in the discharge chute and that the engine is running at full throttle.
Ensure there is fresh fuel in the tank, the spark plug is clean and properly gapped, and the ignition switch is on. Check the fuel line and carburetor for blockages.
Check tire pressure regularly and inflate them to the recommended PSI as specified in the owner's manual. Inspect tires for wear or damage before each season.
To prevent clogging, avoid overloading the machine, clear wet or heavy snow in stages, and use a non-stick spray on the chute and auger housing.
Drain the fuel or add a fuel stabilizer, change the oil, clean the unit thoroughly, and store it in a dry, sheltered location. Remove the spark plug and add a few drops of oil to the cylinder.
Loosen the skid shoe bolts, adjust the shoes to the desired height for your driveway surface, and then retighten the bolts to secure them in place.
Check for loose or damaged parts, such as the auger or impeller. Tighten any loose fasteners and replace any damaged components to reduce vibration.
