This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline.
Toro strongly recommends the use of fresh, clean,
UNLEADED regular grade gasoline with an octane rating
of 85 or higher in Toro gasoline powered products.
Unleaded gasoline burns cleaner, extends engine life, and
promotes good starting by reducing the build-up of
combustion chamber deposits. In countries other than
U.S.A., leaded gasoline may be used if it is commercially
available and unleaded is unavailable.
IMPORTANT: Do not mix oil with the gasoline. Do not
use gasoline that has been stored in an approved
container from one season to the next.
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: Some fuels, called oxygenated or
reformulated gasolines, are gasolines blended with
alcohols or ethers. Excessive amounts of these blends
can damage the fuel system or cause performance
problems. Never use methanol, gasoline containing
methanol, gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol
or white gas because engine fuel system damage could
result. If any undesirable operating symptoms occur,
use gasoline with a lower percentage of alcohol or
ether.
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 conditioner/stabilizer. Toro does not recommend
stabilizers with an alcohol base such as ethanol,
methanol or isopropyl. Additives should not be used to
try to enhance the power or performance of machine.
1. Clean around fuel tank cap and remove cap from tank.
Using unleaded gasoline, add fuel to 1/4" to 1/2" (6 to
13 mm) from top of tank, not into the filler neck. Do
not fill the tank full.
2. Reinstall fuel tank cap and wipe up any spilled
gasoline.
3. Connect spark plug wire (if disconnected) (Fig. 9).

General Tips
Follow these instructions whether cutting grass or leaves
for the best cutting results and lawn appearance:
Maintain a sharp blade throughout the cutting season.
Periodically file down nicks on blade.
Only mow dry grass or leaves. Wet grass and leaves
tend to clump on yard and may cause mower to plug or
engine to stall. They also may be slippery to walk on
and could cause you to slip and fall.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Wet grass or leaves can cause you to slip and
contact blade.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Blade contact can seriously injure you.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Mow only in dry conditions.
Set engine speed to fastest position. Maximum
horsepower provides best cutting results.
Clean clippings or leaves from underside of mower
deck after each mowing.
Keep engine in good running condition. Cutting and
recutting requires more horsepower.
