  If your Toro Snow Blower runs but doesn't discharge snow well, check these possible causes: * Ensure the throttle is in the Fast position when throwing snow. * If the machine is moving too fast, shift into a lower gear. * Reduce the amount of snow removed per swath if you're trying to remove too much at once. * Avoid overloading the machine with extremely heavy or wet snow. * Unclog the discharge chute if it's plugged.
