Check control operation frequently. Adjust and service as required.
Use only factory authorized replacement parts when making repairs.
Always comply with factory specifications on all settings and

Only authorized service locations should be utilized for major service
and repair requirements.
•
Never touch a hot engine or muffler. Allow muffler, engine cylinder, and

Use only attachments and accessories approved by the factory (such as
wheel weights, counterweights, or cabs).

Remove debris from muffler area and cylinder area.
Install and maintain in working order a spark arrester before using

Lawn and Garden readers have rated Murray Walk Behind 1695538 5.25TP 21-Inch Single Stage Snow Blower Owners Manual 4.0 out of 4.0 based on 2 product reviews. I wasn’t looking for a massive snow blower. This one works really well for the size of my driveway in lighter snow conditions
Picked up used Murray snowblower last week for light jobs. Perfect size, just a little old (2007). Was looking for info re:specs for minor maintenance.
