DANGER
POTENTIAL HAZARD
When fueling, under certain circumstances, a
static charge can develop, igniting the gasoline.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you
and others and damage property.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always place gasoline containers on the ground
away from your vehicle before filling.
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.
When practical, remove gasoline-powered
equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel
the equipment with its wheels on the round.
If this is not possible, then refuel such
equipment on a truck or trailer from a portable
container, rather than from a gasoline
dispenser nozzle.
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.
For simplicity and best engine performance, mix the
contents of one 5.2–ounce bottle of Toro 50:1 Two–Cycle
Oil with two gallons of fresh, unleaded regular gasoline.
Leaded regular gasoline may be used if unleaded regular
is not available.
Toro Two–Cycle Oil is specially formulated to provide
superior lubrication, make starting easy, and prolong
engine life. If Toro Two–Cycle Oil is not available, mix
two gallons of gasoline and 5.2 ounces of another high
grade two–cycle oil that is specially formulated for
high-performance, two-cycle air-cooled engines.
Note: Failing to use the proper oil or the 50:1
gasoline-to-oil mixture ratio can result in serious engine
damage.
Add the oil to fresh, unleaded gasoline according to the
chart below:

To properly mix the gasoline and oil:
1. Pour half of the desired amount of fresh, unleaded
2. Add the full amount of oil to the gasoline.
3. Install the cap on the gasoline container.
4. Shake the gasoline-and-oil mixture thoroughly.
5. Slowly remove the cap and add the remaining amount
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.
1. Add oil to half of the
2. Install the cap and shake
IMPORTANT: Do not overfill the fuel tank. The
gasoline/oil mix must have room to expand.
6. Replace the fuel cap securely and wipe up any spilled
Using Stabilizer/Conditioner
Use a fuel stabilizer/conditioner or oil containing
stabilizer/conditioner in the machine to provide the
following benefits:
IMPORTANT: Do not use fuel additives containing
methanol or ethanol.
Add the correct amount of gas stabilizer/conditioner to the
gas or use oil formulated with a stabilizer/conditioner
when mixing the gas and oil.
