Advice on new 926LE
Original Message Jan 8, 2007 9:50 am

Just bit the bullet and purchased a new 926LE (926001) from home depot with 1 yr free financing and a 10% off coupon. Any suggestions on verifying it was set up correctly?

I did put gas in, check the oil and started it up. She ran fine and I tested her on a snowbank. Threw snow just fine, quite fine actually! Can't wait for a big dump!!!

Just have read so many setup horror stories on this site that I wanted to make sure I don't overlook something. Thanks!!

I would check the manual and see if there is a "run in" needed to break in the clutch/drive belt which may stretch a bit after some use. Ask the dealer if the did it. Home Depot doesn't as far as I know. The Ariens manual for mine calls for a "run-in" and then says to re-check the cable spring length. I did it as the dealer I got it from didn't. It may save you some grief during your first big storm.
