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.
Operation cool before trying to run starter again. Before repeating engine starting procedure, check that ignition key switch is ON, and make sure there is fresh fuel in fuel tank. If engine still will not start after a second attempt, bring the snowthrower to an Authorized Toro Service Dealer for servicing. Starting/Stopping Engine (Fig. 5) 1. 2. 3. CONTROLS—Key switch, primer, electric start button*, and recoil starter are located on the control panel.
CONTROLS. When any control or part becomes hard to operate, start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. If control or part still will not move with moderate force, stop engine, remove ice or thaw out snowthrower. rotor blades strike the ground. The wheels do not have to touch the ground in order to self-propel. The further you tilt the handle forward, the faster the snowthrower self-propels. However, depth and height of snow affects forward speed.
3. POTENTIAL HAZARD • Gasoline and its fumes are highly flammable, explosive, and dangerous if inhaled. After fuel is drained, start engine and let it run until all fuel is consumed and engine stops. Repeat the starting procedure two more times to assure all fuel is removed from the engine. Note: WHAT CAN HAPPEN • If gasoline contacts a flame or is inhaled, This is the only procedure recommended for draining fuel because it allows all fuel to be removed from fuel tank.
side (Fig. 9). If one of the blades is installed with the thick layer on the outside of the curve and the other blade installed with the thick layer on the inside of the curve, the blades will be unbalanced, causing the snowthrower to “hop” or “bounce.” 3. REMOVING BELT (Fig. 13)—Pull idler pulley up slightly while pulling out on belt. Allow pulley to gradually release when it can move past the belt. Rotate rotor with left hand and work belt off rotor pulley with right hand.
Storage 1. 2. CYLINDER/PISTON CARE—Slowly pull recoil starter until resistance is felt due to compression pressure, then stop. Release starter tension slowly to prevent engine from reversing due to compression pressure. This position closes both the intake and exhaust ports which prevents corrosion of the cylinder bore. 3. TIGHTEN FASTENERS AND CLEAN—Tighten screws, bolts, knobs and nuts if necessary. Repair or replace damaged parts. Clean unit thoroughly. 4.
