USING THE CLEAN-OUT TOOL (See Fig. 15)

In certain snow conditions, the discharge chute may be- come clogged with ice and snow. Use the clean-out tool to dislodge this blockage.

When cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain all controls are disengaged and the auger/impeller and all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep the wire away from the spark plug to pre- vent accidental starting.

•Release the auger control lever and shut off the engine.

•Remove the clean-out tool from it's mounting clip. Grasp the tool fi rmly by the handle and push and twist the tool into the discharge chute to dislodge the blockage.

•Slower speeds are for heavier snow and faster speeds are for light snow and transporting the snow thrower. It is recommended that you use a slower speed until you are familiar with the operation of the snow thrower.

NOTE: When both traction drive and auger control levers are engaged, the traction drive control lever will lock the auger control lever in the engaged position. This will allow you to release your right hand from the handle and adjust the discharge chute direction without interrupting the snow throwing process.

CONTROL LEVER

After the packed snow has been dislodged, return the clean- out tool to it's mounting clip by pushing it into the clip.

•Make sure the discharge chute is pointed in a safe direc- tion (no vehicles, buildings, people, or other objects are in the direction of discharge) before restarting engine.

•Restart the engine, then squeeze the auger control lever to the handle to clear snow from the auger hous-

ing and the discharge chute.

8524STE specifications

The Husqvarna 8524STE is a top-tier snowblower designed for both efficiency and user-friendly operation. This powerful machine is engineered to tackle heavy snowfall, making it an essential tool for homeowners in winter climates.

One of the standout features of the Husqvarna 8524STE is its robust 24-inch clearing width. This wide design allows users to clear large areas quickly and effectively. Equipped with a powerful 208cc engine, the snowblower delivers exceptional performance, ensuring reliable starting in cold temperatures and a high throwing distance for snow.

The Husqvarna 8524STE employs a dual-stage snow removal system, which combines both an auger and an impeller. This two-step process allows for the efficient intake and powering of snow into the chute for dispersal at a significant distance. The heavy-duty steel auger can cut through compacted snow and ice, reducing the effort required by the user.

Another notable technology featured in the Husqvarna 8524STE is its electric start system. This allows for easy and quick starting with the push of a button, eliminating the hassle of manual pull starts, especially in frigid temperatures. Additionally, the snowblower features a friction disc transmission that offers six forward speeds and two reverse speeds, enabling users to adjust their pace according to their specific snow-clearing needs.

Comfort is also a priority with this model. The ergonomic handle is designed for better grip, and the controls are well-placed for ease of use. The handle height can be adjusted to accommodate different user heights, ensuring that everyone can operate the machine comfortably.

The Husqvarna 8524STE further enhances its usability with a chute rotation that can be easily adjusted from the operator’s position. This feature provides precise control over the direction in which the snow is thrown, allowing users to clear their driveways, sidewalks, and walkways efficiently.

For added safety, the snowblower includes features such as a transparent fuel tank for easy monitoring of fuel levels and LED headlights for increased visibility during nighttime operations.

In summary, the Husqvarna 8524STE combines powerful performance with user-friendly features. Its durable construction, advanced technologies, and thoughtful design make it one of the best choices on the market for those looking to tackle winter's challenges. Whether you face heavy snowfalls or light flurries, this snowblower is built to handle it all with ease and efficiency.
