IMPORTANT: NEVER USE METHANOL,
GASOLINE CONTAINING METHANOL,
GASOHOL CONTAINING MORE THAN
10% ETHANOL, PREMIUM GASOLINE,
OR WHITE GAS BECAUSE THE ENGINE
AND FUEL SYSTEM COULD BE
DAMAGED.
DO NOT USE FUEL ADDITIVES OTHER
THAN THOSE MANUFACTURED FOR
FUEL STABILIZATION DURING
STORAGE SUCH AS TORO'S
STABILIZER/CONDITIONER OR A
SIMILAR PRODUCT. TORO'S
STABILIZER/CONDITIONER IS A
PETROLEUM DISTILLATE BASED
CONDITIONER/STABILIZER. TORO
DOES NOT RECOMMEND STABILIZERS
WITH AN ALCOHOL BASE SUCH AS
ETHANOL, METHANOL OR ISOPROPYL.
ADDITIVES SHOULD NOT BE USED TO
TRY TO ENHANCE THE POWER OR
PERFORMANCE OF THE MACHINE.
Note:
Do not mix gasoline and oil in the
product fuel tank. Oil that is at room
temperature mixes easier and more
thoroughly than cold oil.

Operation
See Figure 6 for the location of major backpack
blower components.
Throttle Lever
Before operating the backpack blower, release the
knob, rotate the throttle arm to the position in
Figure 2, and tighten the knob.
When the backpack blower is positioned on the back
of the operator, the throttle lever is located on the left
side of the operator (Fig. 3).
The lowest position of the throttle lever is the "IDLE"
setting, and the highest position is the "FULL
THROTTLE" setting (Fig. 4).
Starting Engine
1.
Pump the primer bulb on the side of the
carburetor until you see fuel flowing through the
fuel-return line (Fig. 7).
2.
Move the choke lever fully downward to the
closed position (Fig. 8). If the engine is already
warm, only a partial or open (no choke) choke
setting may be required.
3.
Turn the stop switch ON (Fig. 9). (Confirm that
the stop switch is in the START position.)
4.
Set the throttle lever at 1/2 speed (Fig. 9).
5.
Pull the starter grip briskly to start the engine
(Fig. 10).
Note:
Only short pulls are necessary. Never
pull the starter cord to its fullest
extension. Never let go of the starter
grip until it is at the fully returned
position.
6.
Warming up the engine. When the engine has
started, slowly move the choke lever fully
upward to the open position (Fig. 11). Allow the
engine to warm up at less than 1/2 speed.
Stopping Engine
7.
Always run the engine at idle speed for a few
minutes to allow cooling before stopping.
8.
To stop the engine, move the throttle control
lever all the way downward to the engine idle
position. Then move the stop switch to the
STOP position (Fig. 9).
