Operation; Controls - Toro 22175 Operator's Manual

Use a fuel stabilizer/conditioner regularly during
operation and storage. A stabilizer/conditioner cleans the
engine during operation and prevents gum-like varnish
deposits from forming in the engine during periods of
storage.
Important
Do not use fuel additives other than a fuel
stabilizer/conditioner . Do not use fuel stabilizers with an
alcohol base such as ethanol, methanol, or isopropanol.

Important
Do not fill the tank more than 1/4 inch
(6 mm) from the top of the tank because the gasoline must
