how do you free electric cord caught in toro 1800 snow blades

I haven't experienced that dreaded occurance yet, but it seems you'd have to take the auger/blades out at one end or the other somehow. If you're handy, I'd start by seeing if there is a way in through one end/side of the blade housing or the other, and if there is a belt pulley inside that needs to come off to free-up the axle the blades are on. Be sure to remember where parts come from(maybe draw a picture), so you can put it all back together. Otherwise, it may be a chore for the Toro dealer in your area. Good luck.

you will have to take it apart. The big resolution is to keep the cord over your shoulder and do short verticle runs instead of the lawn mower run.

Try to rotate the blade after lubricating the bound areas with WD-40 or silicon spray. If that does not work, I would sacrifice the extension cord. Use a pair of diagonal pliers to cut the cord at the point(s) where it is bound by the blade, then remove the pieces of cord. Push the bound pieces from under the blade with a screwdriver if they do not pull out easily. Again, use some lubrication.

I'm thinking you pulled it out way past the red mark on the cord and broke it. I did that to my vacuum cord, I had to put a pinch clothes pin on that. Sorry.

The cord isn't very long. I use 3 of them with an extension cord outside all winter and it works great!

Even a Black & Decker 18V air broom will work on light snow up to 1/2". I'm using a Toro 12A corded blower with 230MPH wind speed and it will clear anything from slush to diamond dust (ice crystals) The leaf blower does a great job of cleaning right down to the concrete after using the snow thrower after major snow storms.

Did it get too cold? We left ours outside one night, and it didn't work the next day. Toro customer service says it may have frozen. We'll try it again, but we're close to returning it. What good is a snow blower that has to come into the house at night?

Hi Nikhil, I have 2 extension cords that work with this snow blower. They are standard extension cords, rated for 15amp. I purchased them from my local retailer. You wont need anything special. Just a normal extension. It is recommended that the cord be rated for 15amps.

I don't believe I've ever gotten better than 15 feet under the best conditions and much less than that in wet snow. As with your Sears, the parts for the Toro are very expensive too.

Sorry, I really don't know- you'd have to contact the manufacturer. I believe the snowblower is a Toro in the USA, Maztang was just the overseas version.

I've never tried this electric snow blower on the grass. Looks like it might work if you carefully police the area to be cut to make sure it's free of anything (sticks, twigs, rocks, etc.) which could get jammed between the rotating blade and housing and destroy the electric motor (I'm not seeing a shear pin like my larger gas power snow blower) to protect transmission in case of jam. For this reason, I strongly recommend that you use it for snow for which it was designed. Might make a call to Toro and inquire. :~)

Mine included the vac accessories. I didn't get a chance to use them. The blower worked powerfully for the first few minutes, then it worked less powerfully, then after ten minutes it didn't work at all. It wasn't abused in the slightest, and I even used a 12-gauge cord. Local warranty shops quoted a turnaround of several weeks for a replacement from Toro. This was the fourth and last Toro product I'll ever buy.

I plug my Toro snow thrower into an outlet in my garage. No problems. I don't own a power shovel but I can't imagine it would be that much different.

I just let the drain plug fall in the pan and then retrieve it with a telescopic magnetic retriever thing like this TEKTON 97603 8-lb. Telescoping Pick-Up ToolOnly takes a few seconds to search and find the drain plug and the retriever is easy to clean.

Check with Toro. As I remember, it's a simple connection that requires a bridge.....try connecting it using an insulated wire.

No cord to pull. This is an electric mower and it has a lever on the handle. You pull up the lever with your hand and hold it. If you let it go the mower engine stops.

Just be sure to get a heavy gauge extension cord, which aren't cheap, but will preserve the electric motor and keep full electrical flow to the motor. Outside of that its just scraping off dirt and inspecting for lost tines. But that shouldn't happen until after a lot of uses. Don't pull it backwards. And always read the manual.

Well, of course the cord will get cut if you run over it. And you will cut your foot off if you run over it with the gasoline lawnmower. You have to keep the cord out of the way of the lawnmower. The best way to do this is to work away from the outlet where you have the cord plugged in.
