The Simplicity L1226E Snow Blower is a step up from other snowblowers that Simplicity produces, such as the Simplicity I924E Snow Blower or even the Simplicity I1224E Snow Blower. It’s a dual stage snow blower powered by a Briggs & Stratton Professional Series engine that gives this machine 11. 5 foot-pounds of torque. This 4-stroke engine can be started by plugging it into the mains and simply pressing the electric start button. Or if you are not near any electrical outlet, it can be started using a pull and recoil cable system.
The Simplicity L1226E snow thrower drives its wheels through a friction disc drive which provides the snow thrower with 6 forward and 2 reverse gears. It uses tires that have an Arctic Trac cord to give it substantially better grip when traveling on slippery surfaces compared to other tires. These tires have a width of 0. 12 m (4. 8 inches) and a diameter of 0. 41 m (16 inches). Fortunately, a cleaning stick is included with the L1226E snow blower to quickly free any blockages.
The Simplicity L1226E Dual Stage Snow Blower’s clearing width is 0. 66 m (26 inches), while it has a clearing height of 0. 5 m (19. 75 inches). Snow enters the L1226E casing and first encounters the auger which is 0. 36 m (14 in) in diameter. This auger cuts snow quickly and efficiently and pushes it towards the impeller located in the center of the casing. The impeller consists of 3 blades and has a diameter of 0. 3 m (12 in). On the underside of the steel housing are reversible skid shoes that prevent this snow blower from damaging the surface you’re clearing or leaving serious marks. The fuel tank capacity of the L1226E is 2. 84 liters.
