OIL AND 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 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 CAREFULLY
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO START OR OPERATE
THIS UNIT. Using old oil or fuel or improperly 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
engines (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.
Figure 1-2. 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.
If these types of fuel must be used, use fresh fuel (less
than 60 days old) and mix according to the instructions
in this section.
