Toro electric snowblower snow clearing tips

• To avoid running over the power cord, start at the top corner of your driveway and clear 5-foot sections across the driveway. Continue clearing additional sections until you reach the end of the driveway.
• You can also follow a diagonal clearing pattern to avoid cord damage. Start in the middle of the driveway and clear snow diagonally to the edge of the driveway. Pull straight back and clear snow diagonally on the opposite side of the driveway. Repeat until you reach the end of the driveway.
• One other method of clearing snow without damaging the power cord is to use a mid-point clearing pattern. Start by clearing a row down the center of your driveway until you reach the edge. Work your way back to the top of the driveway by clearing from the center to each edge of the driveway until you reach the top.

Common replacement parts for Toro electric snowblowers

• Power cord. The power cord supplies electric current to the snowblower.
• Shear pin. The shear pin is a fastener bolt that connects the auger to the rotating drive shaft. The shear bolt is made of soft metal that purposely shears off or breaks to protect the transmission and motor when a foreign object or hard-packed snow binds the augers.
• Skid shoes. The skid shoes are two spacers that attach to each side of the auger housing and slide along the ground so the snowblower moves smoothly. They also elevate the auger housing so it clears the ground, protecting it from damage.
• Auger assembly. The auger assembly consists of rotating blades that collect snow and throw it out of the auger housing and through the chute.
