212 CC is about 6 and 1/2 horsepower. That auger lock feature you showed at the end is a little more common these days on nicer machines than it used to be. Although it's very strange that they chose to give you only one reverse speed. Even many low end machines have to reverse speeds. Still a very nice machine I really don't have any experience with Husqvarna equipment. One thing I would do is preventive maintenance is take the wheels off then put some anti-seize on Hyundai axle. That will prevent the wheels from seizing through the axle. That way the wheels come off easily if it's ever in need of a future repair that requires the wheels to come off.
Thanks for the great advice about using anti-seize on the axle hubs, that is definitely going on my list of things to get done. Someone else also suggested using Fluid Film on the sheet metal seams and areas where the paint gets worn off. I agree with you that more reverse speeds would be convenient, I have it in the back of my mind that it's that way for safety and Liability. Thanks again for the comments and for watching! Duane
Cool Prize! The starter is 120V... no converter. Spray it down with Fluid Film--spray the seams in the housing, the mating services between the cutter bar and skids and the housing, inside the housing and chute. The Fluid Film will cut down on and even prevent corrosion. It never dries but it can be rubbed away so touch ups are needed. It would be good to change the oil after an hour or so of run time... that gets rid of the fine metal flakes from engine break in. It sounded like it ran fine after adjusting the choke... I'd let it warm up for say 4-5 minutes before actually blowing snow so the oil warms and flows well before it's stressed. Have fun!
Thanks for all the great advice! I will definitely be using the Fluid Film since I already use it on all my automobiles. I even have the spry gun and aerosol cans on hand. I will confess that It never occurred to me to use it on the snowblower. Didn't even know that there was such a thing as a 120 volt electric starter, and I have been twisting wrenches most of my life. Thanks again! Duane
@@DuaneUrch Most of the starters on snowblowers operate independently of any electrical system in the snowblower (e.g., for lights or grip warmers). They simply use house current via an extension cord (either the one provided with the machine or a standard 3 prong -- Me... I use either a 12 or 14 gauge extension cord. I don't think I own a 16 or 18 gauge cord!). There are dedicated snowblowers with batteries out there in the world but I haven't encountered one in person!
YOU ARE RIGHT! Every small engine manufacturer seems to be shipping their engines out to the consumers as lean as possible. We can that! Thanks for the comment and for watching. Duane
Wind and stones. I had a car parked in the road and one in the driveway so I was trying not to hit them with the stones. The wind was also coming from my back so I didn't want it blowing back on me on the way back up the drive. Thanks for watching the video and making comments. Check out some of my other videos if you get a chance. Duane
Congratulations!
Thank you!

That thing is new, and that Powermore engine was already badly surging .

looks like it works great, how come you didnt just spin around and blow on the way back instead of reversing all the way back each time
