Fuel And Oil Mixing Instructions
If you choose to use a blended fuel or its use is
unavoidable, the following precautions are
recommended.
NOTE: For proper engine operation and maximum re-
liability, pay strict attention to these fuel and oil mixing

If the unit is equipped with an ignition switch, make
sure the switch is in the “START” or “ON” position
(Figure 1-3).
If any of these symptoms occur, switch to regular, un-
leaded gasoline.
Gasohol Use May Require Carburetor Adjustments
These engines are lubricated by oil mixed with fuel.
Using blended fuel may alter the air/fuel ratio causing
a lean mix (less fuel, more air).
If this condition is not corrected by adjusting the carbu-
retor, engine damage due to poor lubrication can re-
sult.
Use Of Fuel Additives
The use of fuel additives such as Toro Gas Condi-
tioner/Stabilizer or an equivalent, will minimize the for-
mation of fuel gum deposits. Such an additive should
only be used when fuel/oil mix is prepared. Add 0.4
