Toro Wheel Horse 42-inch 79362 Snow Thrower F.A.Q.

How do I start the Toro Wheel Horse 42-inch 79362 Snow Thrower?

To start the Toro Wheel Horse 79362 Snow Thrower, ensure it is on a level surface. Set the choke to the full position, turn the throttle to 'Fast', and insert the key. Then, pull the starter handle or use the electric start button if available.

How do I maintain the auger of the snow thrower?

Regularly inspect the auger for signs of wear or damage. Lubricate the auger shaft at least once per season and tighten any loose bolts. Replace the auger belt if it shows signs of wear.

What type of fuel should I use for optimal performance?

Use fresh, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Avoid using gasoline with more than 10% ethanol as it can damage the engine.

Why is the snow thrower not starting in cold weather?

Ensure the choke is set to 'On' and the fuel is fresh. If the engine oil is too thick, replace it with oil suitable for cold temperatures. Electric starters are also useful in cold conditions.

How do I troubleshoot if the snow thrower is not throwing snow effectively?

Check if the chute is clogged and clear any obstructions. Inspect the auger and impeller for damage. Ensure the auger drive belt is correctly tensioned and not worn out.

What is the recommended maintenance schedule for the snow thrower?

Conduct a pre-season check, including oil change, spark plug inspection, and lubrication. Clean the machine after each use and perform a thorough end-of-season maintenance.

How can I adjust the skid shoes for varying surface conditions?

For gravel surfaces, lower the skid shoes to raise the auger housing. For smooth surfaces, raise the skid shoes to lower the housing closer to the ground. Adjust both sides evenly.

What should I do if the snow thrower vibrates excessively during operation?

Check for loose parts, especially the auger and impeller. Inspect for any damaged or unbalanced components. Tighten any loose bolts and replace damaged parts promptly.

How do I store the snow thrower at the end of the season?

Drain the fuel or add a fuel stabilizer. Clean the snow thrower thoroughly, lubricate moving parts, and store it in a dry, sheltered location. Disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starts.

Can I use the snow thrower on wet, heavy snow?

Yes, but it may require slower operation. Adjust the speed to prevent clogging and ensure the chute is clear. Use a silicone spray inside the chute to help reduce sticking.
