GENERAL INFORMATION
Fuel and Oil Requirements
Mixing Gasoline and Oil
DANGER
When fueling under certain circumstances, a
static charge can develop igniting the gasoline.
A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you
and other and damage property.
This Toro snowthrower is powered by a two-cycle
engine that requires a 50:1 gasoline-to-oil mixture.
•
Always place gasoline containers on the
ground and away from your vehicle before
filling.
Use only clean, unleaded gasoline no more than 30
days old and with an octane rating of 87 or higher.
Using unleaded gasoline reduces combustion chamber
deposits and promotes longer spark plug life.
•
Do not fill gasoline containers inside a
vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed because
interior carpets or plastic truck bed liners
may insulate the container and slow the loss
of any static charge.
Engines certified to comply with U.S. EPA emission
regulations for ULGE engines are certified to operate
on a mixture of regular unleaded gasoline and oil, include
the following emission control system(s): EM and TWC (if
•
•
When practical, remove gas-powered
equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel
the equipment with its wheels on the ground.
If this is not possible, then refuel such
equipment on a truck or trailer from a
portable container, not from a gasoline
dispenser nozzle.
equipped), and do not include any user-adjustable features.
Important Do not use methanol, gasoline
containing methanol, gasohol containing more than
10% ethanol, premium gasoline, or white gas. Using
these fuels can damage the fuel system.
•
If you must use a gasoline dispenser nozzle,
keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the
fuel tank or container opening at all times
until fueling is complete.
Important Do not use an automotive oil (such as
SAE 30 or 10W30), a two-cycle oil that is not NMMA
TCW-certified, or a fuel mixed at the wrong gasoline-to-
oil ratio. This can cause engine damage not covered
under the Toro warranty.
Note: Use a fuel stabilizer/conditioner for all Toro
gasoline-powered products during operation and
storage. A fuel stabilizer/conditioner cleans the engine
during operation and prevents gum-like varnish
deposits from forming in the engine during storage. A
fuel stabilizer/conditioner works best when you mix it
with fresh gasoline. If you use Toro 50:1 2-Cycle Oil
(Fuel Stabilizer Added), you do not need to add a fuel
stabilizer/conditioner.
DANGER
In certain conditions, gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive. A fire or
explosion from gasoline an burn you and others
and cause property damage.
•
Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area,
and when the engine is cold. Wipe up any
gasoline that spills.
Important Do not use fuel additives except a fuel
stabilizer during storage. Do not use fuel stabilizers
with an alcohol base, such as ethanol, methanol, or
isopropanol.
•
Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add
gasoline to the fuel tank until the level is 1/4
to 1/2 in. (6 to 13mm) below the bottom of the
filler neck. This empty space in the tank
allows the gasoline to expand.
1.
Pour a half gallon (1.9 liters) of fresh, unleaded
gasoline into an approved fuel container.
•
Never smoke when handling gasoline, and
stay away from an open flame or where a
spark may ignite gasoline fumes.
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.
•
•
Store gasoline in an approved fuel container
and keep it out of the reach of children.
Never buy more than a 30-day supply of
gasoline.
