To start the Toro Power TRX 1428OHXE 38890 Snow Thrower, ensure it's on a flat surface, set the choke to full, prime the engine by pressing the primer bulb three times, and then pull the starter handle or press the electric start button if equipped.
Use fresh, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Avoid using gas with more than 10% ethanol content to ensure optimal performance.
Change the oil after the first 5 hours of operation, and then annually or every 25 hours of use, whichever comes first. Always use the recommended oil type and viscosity as specified in the manual.
Check for any blockages in the discharge chute or impeller. Ensure the auger and impeller are not worn or damaged. Adjust the chute deflector to alter the throwing distance.
To prevent chute clogging, operate the machine at full throttle and move at a consistent speed. Clear any wet or heavy snow early before it accumulates too much. Use a spray lubricant on the chute for better snow flow.
Before storing, drain the fuel or add a fuel stabilizer, change the oil, clean the equipment thoroughly, and check for any worn parts that may need replacement. Store in a dry, sheltered location.
To adjust the skid shoes, loosen the nuts securing them, adjust the shoes to the desired height for the surface, and then retighten the nuts. The ideal height varies depending on the surface condition.
Check the power cord and outlet connection. Ensure the unit is plugged in properly. If issues persist, inspect the starter motor and switch for faults, or consult a professional for repair.
First, disconnect the spark plug for safety, then remove the belt cover and old belt. Install the new belt around the pulleys, ensuring proper tension, and replace the belt cover before reconnecting the spark plug.
Ensure there is fresh fuel in the tank, the choke is set correctly, and the spark plug is clean and properly connected. If the engine still does not start, check the fuel line and carburetor for blockages.
