Mixing the 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 US 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 (Figure 18):

2 US gallons (7.6 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
