Off-season Storage

WARNING: Never store the machine or fuel container indoors where there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light such as on water heater, furnace, clothes dryer, or other gas appliance.

WARNING: Drain fuel into an approved container outdoors, away from an open flame. Allow engine to cool. Extinguish cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other sources of ignition prior to draining fuel. Fuel left in engine for extended periods deteriorates and will cause starting problems.

If unit is to be stored over 30 days, prepare for storage as follows:

•Remove gasoline from carburetor and fuel tank to prevent gum deposits from forming on these parts and causing possible malfunction of engine.

•Run engine until fuel tank is empty and engine stops due to lack of fuel.

•Drain carburetor by pressing upward on bowl drain, located below the carburetor cover.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Do not drain carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.

•Wipe equipment with an oiled rag to prevent rust.

•Remove spark plug and pour one ounce of engine oil through spark plug hole into cylinder. Cover spark plug hole with rag. Crank engine several times to distribute oil. Replace spark plug.

•Follow the lubrication recommendations found in the Maintenance Section.

•Always store the snow thrower in a clean, dry area.

NOTE: When storing any type of power equipment in an unventilated or metal storage shed, care should be taken to rust proof the equipment. Using a light oil or silicone, coat the equipment, especially any chains, springs, bearings and cables.

826 4x4 specifications

The Cub Cadet 826 4x4 is a powerful and versatile snow blower designed for homeowners who face harsh winter conditions. It combines robust engineering with user-friendly features, making snow removal a more manageable task. This machine is equipped with a 26-inch clearing width, allowing it to tackle significant snow accumulations efficiently.

One of the standout features of the Cub Cadet 826 4x4 is its 4-wheel drive capability. This ensures that users can navigate snowy terrain with ease, providing enhanced traction and stability on slopes and uneven surfaces. The hydrostatic transmission allows for smooth speed adjustments and effortless maneuvering. This feature is particularly beneficial when operating in tight corners or delicate areas where precision is essential.

The snow blower is powered by a reliable 2-stage engine, which generates ample power for heavy-duty snow clearing. The two-stage system means that after the auger gathers snow, it is thrown out of the discharge chute with significant force, making it ideal for dealing with packed snow and deep drifts. The adjustable chute also allows users to direct the snow far away from the cleared area, preventing it from being blown back onto already cleared surfaces.

In terms of comfort, the Cub Cadet 826 4x4 prioritizes ease of use. It features heated hand grips that keep operators warm during extended periods of cold weather. Moreover, the large, easy-to-operate controls are designed to minimize fatigue, allowing users to focus on the job at hand. The machine’s generous fuel tank capacity ensures longer operation times without frequent refueling, adding to its convenience.

Durability is another key characteristic of the Cub Cadet 826 4x4. Built with high-grade materials, it is designed to withstand the rigors of winter use. The high-impact, snow-resistant construction ensures longevity, making it a smart investment for homeowners looking to manage snow effectively year after year.

In summary, the Cub Cadet 826 4x4 is an exceptional snow blower that combines power, technology, and user comfort. Its robust features make it suitable for tackling even the most challenging winter conditions, ensuring users can clear their paths quickly and efficiently. With its combination of durability, performance, and ease of use, the Cub Cadet 826 4x4 is a top choice for anyone looking to conquer snow this winter.
