BeforeStarting
MixingGasoline and Oil
Your Toro snowthroweris powered by a two-cycle engine that requiresa 50:1 gasoline-to-oilmixture. Use only clean, fresh, unleadedgasoline(including oxygenatedor reformulatedgasoline)with an octane purchaseonly rating of 87 or higher. To ensurefreshness, the amount of gasolineyou expect to use in 30 days. Using unleadedgasolineresultsin fewer combustion chamberdepositsand longer spark plug life. Engines certified to comply with California and U.S. EPA emission regulations for ULGE engines are certified to operateon regular unleadedgasoline/oilmix, include the following emissioncontrol system(s):EM and TWC (if equipped),and do not include any fealures. user-adjustable IMPORTANT: Do not use methanol, gasoline containing methanol, gasohol containing more than lOTo ethanol, premium gasoline, or white gas. Using these fuels can damage the engine's fuel system. IMPORTANT: Do not use an automotive oil (such as SAE 30 or 10W30), a two-cycle oil that is not NMMAor TCW-certified, or a fuel mixed at the wrong gasoline-to-oil ratio. This can cause engine damage not covered under the Toro warrantv.

POTENTIAL HAZARI) . In certain conditionsgasolineis extremely flammable and highly explosive. WHAT CAN HAPPEN . A fire or explosionfrom gasolinecan burn you and others and causepnopertydamage. HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD . Fill the fuel tank outdoors,in an open area, and when the engineis cold. Wipe up any gasoline that spills. . Do not fill the fuel tank completelyfull. Add gasolineto the fuel tank until the level is 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6 to 13 mm) below the bottom of the filler neclc This empty spacein the tank allows the gasolineto expand. . Never smokewhen handling gasoline,and stay away fmm an open flame or where a spark may ignite gasolinefumes. . Store gasolinein an approved fuel container and keepit out ofthe reachofchildren. . Never buy more than a 30-day supply of gasoline.

Note: Use a fuel stabilizer/conditioner all Toro for gasoline-powered productsduring operationand storage. A fuel stabilizer/conditioner cleansthe engine during operationand preventsgum-like varnish depositsfrom forming in the engine during storage.A fuel stabilizerkonditioner works best when you mix it with fresh gasoline.If you use ToroHeavy Duty 50:1All Season2-Cycle Engine Oil with Fuel Stabilizer, you do not needto add a fuel stabilizer/conditioner. IMPORTANT: Do not use fuel additives except a fuel stabilizer during storage. Do not use fuel stabilizers with an alcohol base such as ethanol. methanol. or isopropanol. 1. Pour a half gallon (1.9 liters)of fresh,unleaded gasolineinto an approvedgasolinecontainer. Note: Do not mix gasolineand oil in the fuel tank. Oil at room temperaturemixes easierand more thoroughly than cold oil. Oil below 32"F (0"C) requiresadditional mixing. 2. Add the full amount of Tbro Heavy Duty 50:l All Season2-Cycle Engine Oil with Fuel Stabilizer or an equivalent high grade,NMMA- or TCW-certified two-cycle oil to the gasolineaccordingto the chart below:

Tips Snowthrowing

POTENTIAL HAZARD . Stones, toys and other foneignobjectsmay be picked up and thrown by the rotor blades. WHAT CAN HAPPEN . Thrown objectscan causeseriouspersonal i4iury to operator or to bystanders. HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARI) . Keep the area to be cleared free ofall objects that could be picked up and thrown by rotor blades. . Keep all children and pets away from the area of operation.
Remove snow as soon as possibleafter it falls. This producesthe best snow removal results. The snowthrower clears down to the ground and propelsitself forward when you raise the handle. The snowthrower tilts slightly forward so that the rotor bladesstrike the ground. The wheels do not need to touch the ground to self-propel.The more you tilt the handle forward, the faster the snowthrower self-propels. Overlap each swath to ensurecomplete snow removal. Dischargethe snow downwind wheneverpossible. To clear snow from crushed rock or gravel, push down on the handle to raise the rotor bladesclear of the loose material and push the snowthrower forward.
