Toro 38583 Snow Blower User Manual


 
Operating Tips
The rotor blades can throw stones, toys, and
other foreign objects and cause serious personal
injury to the operator or to bystanders.
• Keep the area to be cleared free of all objects
that the rotor blades could pick up and
throw.
• Keep all children and pets away from the
area of operation.
• Remove the snow as soon as possible after it falls.
• If the snowthrower does not propel itself forward
on slippery surfaces or in heavy snow, push forward
on the handle, but allow the snowthrower to work
at its own pace.
• Overlap each swath to ensure complete snow
removal.
• Discharge the snow downwind whenever possible.
• If the engine is running normally but the machine
does not throw snow as far as it usually does,
perform the following steps as needed until the
problem is solved:
1. Check the control cable adjustment and adjust it
if necessary; refer to Adjusting the Control Cable.
2. Inspect the rotor blades for excessive wear (refer
to Checking the Rotor Blades), and have an
Authorized Dealer replace them if necessary.
3. Replace the drive belt; refer to Replacing the
Drive Belt.
4. If none of the procedures listed above solves the
problem, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.
