POTENTIAL HAZARD
In certain conditions gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you,
others, and cause property damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank outdoors, in
an open area, when the engine is cold. Wipe up
any gasoline that spills.
Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add
gasoline to the fuel tank until the level is 1/4" to
1/2" (6 mm to 13 mm) below the bottom of the
filler neck. This empty space in the tank allows
gasoline to expand.
Never smoke when handling gasoline, and stay
away from an open flame or where gasoline
fumes may be ignited by a spark.
Store gasoline in an approved container and
keep it out of the reach of children.
Never buy more than a 30-day supply of
gasoline.
Oil Mix Ratio
For simplicity and best engine performance, mix the
contents of one bottle of Toro 50:1 Two-Cycle Oil with
7.6 liters (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
7.6 liters (two gallons) of gasoline and 154 ml
(5.2 ounces) of another high grade two-cycle oil that has
the NMMA or BIA-TCW certification printed on the
label.

Toro also recommends that Toro Stabilizer/Conditioner be
used regularly in all Toro gasoline powered products
during operation and storage seasons. Toro
Stabilizer/Conditioner cleans the engine during operation
and prevents gum-like varnish deposits from forming in
the engine during periods of storage.

IMPORTANT: Never use automotive oil (i.e. SAE 30,
10W30 etc.), two-cycle oil that is not certified
NMMA/BIA-TCW, or the wrong mix ratio because the
engine can be damaged, and it would not be covered by
the Toro warranty.
IMPORTANT: Never use methanol, gasoline
containing methanol, gasohol containing more than
10% ethanol, premium gasoline, or white gas because
engine fuel system damage could result.
Do not use fuel additives other than those
manufactured for fuel stabilization during storage such
as Toro's stabilizer/conditioner or a similar product.
Toro's stabilizer/conditioner is a petroleum distillate
based stabilizer/conditioner. Toro does not recommend
stabilizers with an alcohol base such as ethanol,
methanol or isopropyl. Stabilizers should not be used to
try to enhance the power or performance of machine.
Mixing Gasoline and Oil (Fig. 9)
1. Pour correct amount of gasoline into an approved
gasoline container and add the correct amount of
two-cycle oil.
2. Install cap on gasoline container and shake the
container to mix oil and gas thoroughly.
3. Remove cap and add remaining amount of gasoline.
Note: Do not mix gasoline and oil in the product fuel
tank. Oil that is at room temperature mixes easier and
more thoroughly than cold oil.
