Operation

Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position.

Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others.

•To prevent a static charge from igniting the gasoline, place the container and/or snowthrower on the ground before filling, not in a vehicle or on an object.

•Fill the tank outdoors when the engine is cold. Wipe up spills.

•Do not handle gasoline when smoking or around an open flame or sparks.

•Store gasoline in an approved fuel container, out of the reach of children.

Mixing the Gasoline and Oil

This snowthrower uses a 50:1 gasoline-to-oil mixture. Use Toro 50:1 2-Cycle Oil (Fuel Stabilizer Added) or an equivalent high-grade, NMMA TCW-certified two-cycle oil.

Important: To prevent engine damage, do not use automotive oil (such as SAE 30 or 10W30) or fuel mixed at the wrong gasoline-to-oil ratio.

1.Pour a half US gallon (1.9 liters) of fresh, unleaded gasoline into an approved fuel container.

50:1 Gasoline-to-Oil Ratio Mixing Chart

Gasoline		Oil
1	US gallon (3.8 liters)	2.6 ounces (80 ml)
2	US gallons (7.6 liters)	5.2 ounces (160 ml)

3.Install the cap on the fuel container.

4.Shake the container to mix the gasoline and oil thoroughly.

5.Slowly remove the cap and add the remaining amount of gasoline.

Note: Do not mix gasoline and oil in the fuel tank. Oil at room temperature mixes easier and more thoroughly than cold oil. Oil below 32°F (0°C) requires additional mixing

Filling the Fuel Tank

Fill the fuel tank with a fresh mixture of gasoline and oil mixed at the proper ratio (Figure 10).
