MIXING INSTRUCTIONS FOR GASOLINE
AND OIL
Safety Instructions
PROPER FUEL AND OIL
Three basic engine configurations have been used in
this product group. Due to internal differences, there
are three different fuel/oil mix ratios. See the charts on
page 2 - 4 and 2 - 5 for the proper ratio for your model.
Mixing Procedures
Use the following procedures to assure the fuel is
properly mixed:
1. Add 1 quart of unleaded REGULAR gasoline to a
gasoline container.
2. If your snowthrower requires a 16:1 gas to oil
ratio; pour one cup or 8 ounces of Toro 2-cycle
engine oil into the gasoline container (Figure 4).
Gasoline is flammable and caution must be used
when handling or storing it. Do not fill the fuel
tank while snowthrower is running, while it is hot,
or when it is in an enclosed area. Keep away from
an open flame, an electrical spark, and DO NOT
SMOKE while mixing fuel or filling the fuel tank.
Fill the fuel tank to within 1/4 - 1/2 inch from top of
the tank to provide space for expansion of fuel.
Never fill the fuel tank to the top of filler neck.
Always fill the fuel tank outdoors and use a funnel
or spout to prevent spilling. Make sure to wipe up
any spilled fuel before starting the engine.
Store gasoline in a clean, approved container, and
keep the cap in place on the container. Keep
gasoline in a cool, well ventilated place; never in
the house. Never buy more than a 30 day supply
of gasoline to assure volatility. Gasoline is
intended to be used as a fuel for internal
combustion engines; therefore, do not use
gasoline for any other purpose. Since many
children like the smell of gasoline, keep it out of
their reach because the fumes are dangerous to
inhale, as well as being explosive.
