  If your Toro Snow Blower runs but doesn't discharge snow well, here's what to check: 1. Make sure the throttle is in the Fast position when throwing snow. 2. Shift the snowthrower into a lower gear if you're moving too fast. 3. Reduce the amount of snow you're trying to remove per swath. 4. Avoid trying to remove extremely heavy or wet snow. 5. Stop the engine and clear any blockage in the discharge chute with a stick, waiting for all moving parts to stop. 6. Install and/or adjust the auger/impeller drive belt. 7. Replace the auger/impeller drive belt if it's worn or broken.
