Mixing Gasoline and Oil
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive. A
fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and
others.
To prevent a static charge from igniting the
gasoline, place the container and/or
snowthrower on the ground before filling, not
in a vehicle or on an object.
Fill the tank outdoors when the engine is
cold. Wipe up spills.
Do not handle gasoline when smoking or
around an open flame or sparks.
Store gasoline in an approved fuel container,
out of the reach of children.
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 TCW3-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:

1 US gallon (3.8 liters)
2.6 ounces (80 ml)
2 US gallons (7.6 liters)
5.2 ounces (160 ml)
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.
