Troy-Bilt single-stage snow thrower squall 210 Benutzerhandbuch

Before servicing, repairing or 

inspecting the snow thrower, disengage the auger 

control. Stop the engine and remove the key to 

prevent unintended starting.

To check the adjustment of the shave plate, place the machine 

on a level surface. The wheels, shave plate and auger should all 

contact the level surface. Note that if the shave plate is adjusted 

too high, snow may blow under the housing. If the shave plate 

wears out excessively, or the snow thrower does not self-propel, 

the shave plate may be too low and needs to be adjusted.

NOTE: On new snow throwers or machines with a new shave 

plate installed, the auger may be slightly off the ground.

To adjust the shave plate proceed as follows:
1. 

Drain the gas from the snow thrower.

2. 

Pull the starter cord until resistance is felt. Then tip the 

snow thrower back until it rests on the handles.

3. 

Loosen the four flange lock nuts and carriage screws which 

secure the shave plate to the housing. See Fig. 6-1. Move the 

shave plate to the desired position and retighten the flange 

lock nuts and carriage screws securely.

4. 

Tip the snow thrower back to the operating position and pull 

the starter handle a few times to see if it is difficult to pull.

5. 

If the starter is difficult to pull, remove the spark plug and 

pull the handle several times to ensure that any oil trapped 

in the head is removed. 

Oil may come out of the spark plug hole 

when it is removed and the starter handle is pulled.

6. 

Inspect the spark plug. If it is wet, clean off any oil before 

re-installing.

As a result of both the auger control cable and the auger drive belt 

stretching due to wear, periodic adjustments may be necessary. If 

the auger seems to hesitate when rotating, proceed as follows:
The upper hole in the auger control provides for an adjustment 

in cable tension. To adjust, disconnect the end of control cable 

from the bottom hole in the auger handle and reinsert it in the 

upper hole. Insert the cable from the outside as shown in Fig. 6-2.

Test the snow thrower to see if there is a noticeable difference. 

If after the adjustment to the auger control cable the auger still 

hesitates when rotating, see the Service section to replace the belt.

Refer to the Operation section for instructions on adjusting the 

chute assembly.

Lubricate the pivot points on the control handle and the 

extension spring at the end of the control cable with a light 

oil once every season and before the snow thrower is put into 

storage at the end of the season.

If the snow thrower will not be used for 30 days or longer, follow 

the instructions below. 
1. 

Refer to the Engine Operator’s manual packed with your 

snow thrower for information on the storage of the engine.

2. 

Store the equipment in a clean, dry area.

3. 

If storing in an unventilated area, rustproof the machine 

using a light oil or silicone to coat the snow thrower.

4. 

Clean the exterior of the engine and the snow thrower.

5. 

Lubricate pivot points on control handle and extension 

spring at end of control cable with a light oil.
