Ensure the fuel tank is filled with fresh gasoline, set the choke, and pull the starter handle or use the electric starter if equipped.
Check the fuel level, ensure the spark plug is connected, and inspect the choke and throttle settings. If the problem persists, consult the user manual or a professional technician.
It is recommended to perform basic maintenance at the start and end of each snow season, including checking the oil, spark plug, and belts.
Use SAE 5W-30 or 10W-30 oil, depending on the ambient temperature and manufacturer's recommendations.
Adjust the skid shoes and scraper bar to the correct height and ensure the auger and impeller are free of debris.
Check for blockages in the chute, ensure the impeller is functioning properly, and make sure the auger is in good condition.
Disconnect the spark plug wire, remove the old spark plug using a wrench, and install a new spark plug, ensuring it is properly gapped.
It is best to use gasoline with no more than 10% ethanol to prevent damage to the engine and fuel system components.
Drain the fuel, perform maintenance checks, and store the snow thrower in a dry, covered location to protect it from the elements.
Loosen the skid shoe bolts, adjust the shoes to the desired height, typically 1/8 to 1/4 inch above the ground, and then tighten the bolts securely.
