3. Using unleaded gasoline, fill the fuel tank to within
1/4" to 1/2" (6 to 13 mm) from top of tank, not into
filler neck.
IMPORTANT: Do not fill the tank more than 1/4"
from the top of the tank because the gasoline must have
room to expand.
4. Install the fuel tank cap and wipe up any spilled fuel.
IMPORTANT: Do not mix oil with the gasoline. Never
use methanol, gasoline containing methanol, gasohol
containing more than 10% ethanol, or white gas
because the fuel system could be damaged.
Do not use fuel additives other than those
manufactured for fuel stabilization during storage,
such as Toro Stabilizer/Conditioner. Toro
Stabilizer/Conditioner is a petroleum distillate based
product. Toro does not recommend stabilizers with an
alcohol base such as ethanol, methanol, or isopropyl.
Do not use additives to enhance the power or
performance of the engine.
5. Connect the spark plug wire (Fig. 3).

1. Push the primer three times (five times if the

warm engine.
