POTENTIAL HAZARD
• In certain conditions gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn
you, others, and cause property damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
• Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank outdoors,
in an open area, when the engine is cold.
Wipe up any gasoline that spills.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.
Add gasoline to the fuel tank until the level
is 1/4” to 1/2” (6 mm to 13 mm) below the
bottom of the filler neck. This empty space
in the tank allows gasoline to expand.
• Never smoke when handling gasoline, and
stay away from an open flame or where
gasoline fumes may be ignited by a spark.
• Store gasoline in an approved container
and keep it out of the reach of children.
• Never buy more than a 30-day supply of
gasoline.
Recommended Oil Type
An 8oz. (0.24 liter) bottle of 2-cycle engine oil is
included with your product.
TORO 2-cycle oil is recommended for this outdoor
power tool. If another brand of 2-cycle oil is used,
make sure it is high quality oil, formulated for
2-cycle, air-cooled engines.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
• Gasoline/oil mixture contains petroleum
distillate.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Gasoline/oil mixture can be harmful or
fatal if swallowed. It can also irritate your
skin.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
• Do not drink gasoline/oil mixture.
• Avoid prolonged contact with skin. Wash
thoroughly after handling.

IMPORTANT: If gasoline/oil mixture is
swallowed, do not induce vomiting. CALL
PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.
Recommended Fuel Type
Use clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline that is less than
60 days old.
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.
If this type of fuel must be used, use
fresh fuel, (less than 60 days old) and
mix according to the mixing
instructions.
Definition Of Blended Fuels

more oxygenates such as ethanol, methanol or MTBE
(ether).
Use Of Blended Fuels
If you choose to use a blended fuel or its use is
unavoidable, the following precautions are
recommended.
