7
days. Use of lead-free gasoline results in fewer
combustion chamber deposits and longer spark plug
life. Use of premium grade fuel is not necessary.
1.
APPROVED OIL—For simplicity and best
engine performance, mix the contents of one 5.2
ounce bottle of Toro 50:1 Two–Cycle Oil with
two gallons of fresh, unleaded regular gasoline.
You can also use Toro “Easy Mix” Two–Cycle
Oil (3.2 ounce bottle mixed one per gallon of
gasoline; 40:1 ratio) in this Toro two–cycle
engine. Leaded regular gasoline may be used if
unleaded regular is not available.
Toro Two–Cycle Oil is specially formulated to
provide superior lubrication, make starting easy,
and prolong engine life. If Toro Two–Cycle Oil
is not available, mix two gallons of gasoline and
5.2 ounces of another high grade two–cycle oil
that has the NMMA or BIA–TCW certification
printed on the label.
NEVER USE AUTOMOTIVE OIL (i.e. SAE
30, 10W30 etc.), TWO–CYCLE OIL THAT IS
NOT CERTIFIED NMMA/BIA–TCW, OR THE
WRONG MIX RATIO BECAUSE THE
ENGINE CAN BE DAMAGED, AND IT
WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY THE TORO
WARRANTY.
2.
Mixing Gasoline and Oil—Pour a half gallon of
gasoline into an approved gasoline container and
add the correct amount of two–cycle oil. Install
cap on gasoline container and shake the
container to mix oil and gas thoroughly. Remove
cap and add remaining amount of gasoline.
Toro also recommends that Toro
Stabilizer/Conditioner be used regularly in all
Toro gasoline powered products during operation
and storage seasons. Toro Stabilizer/Conditioner
cleans the engine during operation and prevents
gum–like varnish deposits from forming in the
engine during periods of storage.
Note:
A fuel stabilizer/conditioner is most
effective when mixed with fresh
gasoline.
IMPORTANT: NEVER USE METHANOL,
GASOLINE CONTAINING METHANOL,
GASOHOL CONTAINING MORE THAN
10% ETHANOL, PREMIUM GASOLINE,
OR WHITE GAS BECAUSE ENGINE
FUEL SYSTEM DAMAGE COULD
RESULT.
DO NOT USE FUEL ADDITIVES OTHER
THAN THOSE MANUFACTURED FOR
FUEL STABILIZATION DURING
STORAGE SUCH AS TORO’S
STABILIZER/CONDITIONER OR A
SIMILAR PRODUCT. TORO’S
STABILIZER/CONDITIONER IS A
PETROLEUM DISTILLATE BASED
CONDITIONER/STABILIZER. TORO
DOES NOT RECOMMEND STABILIZERS
WITH AN ALCOHOL BASE SUCH AS
ETHANOL, METHANOL OR ISOPROPYL.
ADDITIVES SHOULD NOT BE USED TO
TRY TO ENHANCE THE POWER OR
PERFORMANCE OF MACHINE.
Note:
Do not mix gasoline and oil in the
product fuel tank. Oil that is at room
temperature mixes easier and more
thoroughly than cold oil.
