How to start your Toro Power Max 824 2-Stage Electric Start Gas Snow Blower

How to start your Toro Power Max 824 OE 24" 252cc 2-Stage Electric Start Gas Snow Blower
As the snow blower warms up, move the choke eventually to fully off . You don't want it running too long with the choke on or it will run too rich and gum up the spark plugs and maybe other stuff.

Your video saved us this morning when we weren't able to get our brand new snowblower started! Thank you!

[@Earthmadegarden]

“First point at” 😂😂 thank you for this helpful confusing funny video

[@BarbaraAnne]

I liked anti-clockwise!

[@IggyWildcat]

It's a good habit to make sure it's in neutral before you start it and before you shut it down.

[@DK-pr9ny]

Got cut off at the end?

[@minnesotanice369]

excellent

How do you store this snowblower for winter? Is there a tutorial video by him? He does a great job.

[@BarbaraAnne]

No video but I asked him. He said, First, I recommend always using gas already mixed with gas stabilizer for things like snow blowers/lawn mowers/generators so that the gas is still viable after the winter/summer layover. Then just be sure to follow your usual shutdown procedure where you turn off the fuel petcock and let it run until it stops to make sure there’s no fuel left in the carburetor. If the tank is nearly empty, you could run it dry to be sure that there’s no stale gas, but if the gas is less than a year old and you used stabilizer, it should be fine.

[@RachelMcDonough]

@@BarbaraAnne A belated thank you! I hope he produces more videos.

Does it come with stick to clean the chute? Use electric start , no need to cold start it Will 10% octane from gas station work?

[@BarbaraAnne]

It comes with a plastic piece to clean but I'm afraid to use it. I just use gas from the gas station.

[@JamesJDempsey]

The manual says there is a snow-cleanout tool (attached to the handle.) The manual also says use fuel over 87 octane ((R+M)/2 rating method). Up to 10% ethanol or 15% MBTE is acceptable, but don't use E15 or E85.

[@soulplane7320]

What kind of oil does it take?

[@BarbaraAnne]

The manual just says oil You can google it. It says make sure the viscosity is good for cold temperatures.

[@JamesJDempsey]

(I tried replying before, but it apparently didn't take because I provided a link to the owner's manual.) There is a picture in the manual that suggests Synthetic 5W-30 for any temperature range, API service classification SJ or higher. It also says that 10W-30 may be used at temps above about 0F and 5W-30 may be used at temps below about 8F.

anti clockwise

[@ValsVersion]

Did not work.

I hate when a woman butts in nonstop and tries to show she knows about the subject.
