To start the Toro Wheel Horse 79263 Snow Thrower, ensure it is on a flat surface, set the choke to 'full', push the primer bulb three times, and then pull the starter rope or use the electric start button if available.
Use fresh, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Do not use gasoline with more than 10% ethanol.
To adjust the chute direction, use the chute control lever located on the console. Move the lever left or right to change the direction of the discharge chute.
Check the fuel level and quality, ensure the spark plug is clean and properly connected, check for any blockages in the fuel line, and ensure the choke is in the correct position.
Regularly check the auger for any damage or wear. Ensure the shear pins are intact and replace them if necessary. Lubricate the auger shaft periodically to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation.
Use SAE 5W-30 oil for optimal performance in cold conditions. Refer to the owner's manual for specific recommendations.
To clean the carburetor, remove it from the engine, disassemble it, and clean all parts with carburetor cleaner. Reassemble it and ensure all parts are securely fastened before reinstalling.
Inspect the snow thrower for loose fasteners, check the tire pressure, inspect the belts for wear, and ensure the controls are working properly.
To replace the drive belt, first disconnect the spark plug. Remove the belt cover, then take off the old belt and install the new belt over the pulleys. Reinstall the belt cover and reconnect the spark plug.
Drain the fuel tank, clean the snow thrower thoroughly, apply a thin layer of oil to metal parts to prevent rust, and store it in a dry place. Remove the spark plug and add a few drops of oil into the cylinder to prevent corrosion.
