Storage

1. Add a fuel stabilizer/conditioner to the fuel in the fuel
tank as directed.
Note:
A fuel stabilizer/conditioner works best when you
mix it 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.
2. Run the engine for five minutes to distribute the
conditioned fuel through the fuel system.
3. Stop the engine, allow it to cool, and drain the fuel
tank.
4. Start the engine again and run it until it stops.
5. Either choke or prime the engine, start it a third time,
and run it until it will not restart.
6. Tighten all screws and nuts securely.
7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 above to replace the other
blade.

Preparing the Engine

1. Slowly pull the recoil starter until you feel resistance
due to compression pressure, then stop.
2. Release the starter tension slowly to prevent the engine
from reversing due to compression pressure. This
position closes both the intake and exhaust ports,
preventing cylinder bore corrosion.
Tightening the Fasteners and
Cleaning the Snowthrower
1. Tighten screws, bolts, and nuts if necessary. Repair or
replace damaged parts.
2. Clean the snowthrower thoroughly.
