Danger
When fueling, under certain circumstances, a
static charge can develop, igniting the gasoline. A
fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and
others and damage property.
Always place gasoline containers on the ground
and 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, not 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.
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.
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.
1. Pour a half gallon (1.9 liters) of fresh, unleaded
gasoline into an approved fuel container.
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.
2. Add the full amount of Toro 50:1 2-Cycle Oil (Fuel
Stabilizer Added) or an equivalent high grade, NMMA
TCW-certified 2-cycle oil to the gasoline according to
the chart below:

Gasoline
1 gallon (4 liters)
2 gallons (8 liters)
5 gallons (20 liters)
Oil

3. Install the cap on the fuel container.
4. Shake the container to mix the gasoline and oil
thoroughly.
5. Slowly remove the cap and add the remaining amount
of gasoline.
Filling the Fuel Tank
Important
Do not overfill the fuel tank. The
gasoline-and-oil mixture must have room to expand.
1. Clean around the fuel tank cap; do not allow snow or
water to enter the fuel tank.
2. Remove the fuel tank cap and fill the fuel tank with the
gasoline-and-oil mixture until the level is 1/4 to 1/2 in.
(6 to 13 mm) below the bottom of the filler neck. Do
not fill into the filler neck.
3. Install the fuel tank cap securely and wipe up any
spilled fuel.
Operation
Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine
from the normal operating position.
Operating Controls
The snowthrower control panel contains a key switch, a
primer, a recoil starter, and an electric-start button
(electric-start model only). The choke lever and the cord
connection (for the electric-start model) are located below
the control panel as shown in Figure 6.
