Mixing Gasoline And Oil; Filling The Fuel Tank; Starting The Engine; Operation - Toro 38536 Operator's Manual

Mixing Gasoline and Oil

This snowthrower uses a 50:1 gasoline-to-oil mixture.
Use Toro 50:1 2-Cycle Oil (Fuel Stabilizer Added)
or an equivalent high-grade, NMMA TCW-certified
two-cycle oil.
Important: To prevent engine damage, do not use
automotive oil (such as SAE 30 or 10W30) or fuel
mixed at the wrong gasoline-to-oil ratio.
1. Pour a half gallon (1.9 liters) of fresh, unleaded
gasoline into an approved fuel container.
2. Add two-cycle oil to
the gasoline according
to the chart below:
50:1 Gasoline-to-Oil Ratio Mixing Chart
Gasoline
1 gallon (4 liters)
2 gallons (8 liters)
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.
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.

Filling the Fuel Tank

Fill the fuel tank with a fresh mixture of gasoline and
oil mixed at the proper ratio.

Important: Run the electric starter no more than
10 times at intervals of 5 seconds on, then 5 seconds
off. Running the electric starter extensively can
overheat and damage it. If the engine does not start
after this series of attempts, wait at least 40 minutes
to allow the starter to cool before attempting to start it
again. If the engine does not start after the second
series of attempts, take the snowthrower to an
Authorized Service Dealer for service.
5. With the engine running, move the choke lever to
the left slowly.
