9 - 4 Single Stage Snowthrower Service Manual
Draining The Fuel Tank
To assure safe servicing of your snowthrower, it is
critical that the fuel tank be drained. To drain the fuel
tank on your snowthrower, use the following
procedure:
1. Remove the cap from the snowthrower fuel tank
and tip the unit upside down so the fuel drains into
a container approved for gasoline. After the fuel is
drained, install the cap on the fuel container.
Wipe up any fuel that may have spilled.
2. Replace the fuel tank cap. Start and run the
engine until it runs out of fuel and stops. When
the engine sputters, turn the choke knob to the
“ON” position so that the fuel in the carburetor is
expended.
Removing The Upper Shroud
Many servicing procedures for the Toro Gas Power
Shovel require removing the upper shroud.
To Remove the Upper Shroud:
1. Drain all of the fuel from the fuel tank. Leave the
cap off the tank.
2. The choke and ignition knobs may be left in place.
3. Remove the three Phillips screws which attach the
upper and lower shrouds in the impeller housing
area (Figure 188).
Figure 188 0406-009
4. Remove the six screws from the back of the
snowthrower (Figure 189).
Figure 189 0406-010
Because the gasoline/oil mixture in the
snowthrower fuel tank is explosive, the fuel
mixture must be drained outdoors, away from fire
and flame. Do not smoke while draining gasoline.
