We recommend using 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.
Note:
If you use Toro Heavy Duty 50:1 All Season
2-Cycle Engine Oil with Fuel Stabilizer, you do not need
to add a fuel stabilizer/conditioner.
IMPORTANT: Never use methanol, gasoline
containing methanol, gasohol containing more than
10% ethanol, premium gasoline, or white gas. Using
these fuels can damage the engine's fuel system.
IMPORTANT: Do not use fuel additives except a fuel
stabilizer during storage. We recommend that you do
not use fuel stabilizers with an alcohol base such as
ethanol, methanol, or isopropanol.
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.

Starting the Engine

1. Turn the key to the On position.
2. Turn the choke level to the On (far right) position.
3. Cover the hole in the center of the primer button with
your thumb and slowly push the primer button in
twice. In extremely cold temperatures, repeat this step
as necessary.
Note:
Do not use the choke and the primer when starting
a warm engine.
Note:
When you start the engine for the first time or after
running out of fuel, you may need to use the primer more.
4. For a recoil starter: Hold the snowthrower with one
hand and pull the recoil starter vigorously with the
other hand.
For an electric starter:
A. Connect the power cord to the snowthrower and to
a standard household power outlet.
CAUTION
POTENTIAL HAZARD
If the snowthrower is left plugged in to a power
outlet, it can be inadvertently started.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Someone could become injured or property
damage could occur.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Unplug the cord whenever the snowthrower is
not in use.
