Storing the Snowthrower
Warning
Gasoline fumes are highly flammable, explosive,
and dangerous if inhaled. If you store the product
in an area with an open flame, the gasoline fumes
may ignite and cause an explosion.
Do not store the snowthrower in a house (living
area), basement, or any other area where ignition
sources may be present, such as hot water and
space heaters, clothes dryers, furnaces, and
other like appliances.
1.
Add a fuel stabilizer/conditioner to the fuel in the
fuel tank as directed.
Note: If you use Toro 50:1 2-Cycle Oil (Fuel

Choke or prime the engine, start it a third time,
and run the engine until it will not start.
