Fuel Recommendations

WARNING: Explosive Fuel!

Gasoline is extremely flammable and its vapors can

explode if ignited. Store gasoline only in approved

containers, in well-ventilated, unoccupied buildings,

away from sparks or flames. Do not fill the fuel tank

while the engine is hot or running, since spilled fuel

could ignite if it comes in contact with hot parts or

sparks from ignition. Do not start the engine near

spilled fuel. Do not smoke while handling gasoline.

Never use gasoline as a cleaning agent.

NOTE: READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CARE-

FULLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO START OR

OPERATE THIS UNIT. Using old oil or fuel, or im-

properly mixing the oil and fuel can cause engine

damage. This type of damage will void the engine

warranty.

Recommended Oil Type

Toro 2-cycle oil is recommended for use in these en-

gines (Figure 1-2). If another brand of 2-cycle oil is

used, use a high quality oil that is formulated for small

2-cycle air-cooled engines.

Figure1-2. Recommended Oil Type.

Recommended Fuel Type

Use clean, fresh, regular grade unleaded gasoline.

NOTE: Alcohol blended fuel absorbs moisture

(water). As little as 1% moisture in the fuel can cause

fuel and oil to separate and form acids when stored.
