Mixing Gasoline and Oil
This snowthrower uses a 50:1 gasoline-to-oil mixture.
Use Toro 50:1 2-Cycle Oil (Fuel Stabilizer Added)
or an equivalent high-grade, NMMA TCW III-certied
2-cycle oil.
Important: To prevent engine damage, do not use
automotive oil (such as SAE 30 or 10W30) or fuel
mixed at the wrong gasoline-to-oil ratio.
1. Pour a half US gallon (1.9 liters) of fresh, unleaded
gasoline into an approved fuel container.
2. Add 2-cycle oil to the gasoline according to the chart
below (Figure 8).
Figure 8
50:1 Gasoline-to-Oil Ratio Mixing Chart
Gasoline Oil
1.5 US gallons (5.7 liters) 4.0 ounces (120 ml)
2 US gallons (7.6 liters) 5.2 ounces (160 ml)
3 US gallons (11.4 liters) 8.0 ounces (240 ml)
3. Install the cap on the fuel container.
4. Shake the container to mix the gasoline and oil
thoroughly.
5. Slowly remove the cap and add the remaining
amount of gasoline.
Note: Do not mix gasoline and oil in the fuel tank.
Oil at room temperature mixes easier and more
thoroughly than cold oil. Oil below 32°F (0°C)
requires additional mixing.
Filling the Fuel Tank
Fill the fuel tank with fresh unleaded gasoline (Figure 9).

Important: Do not use E85 or E20 fuel. Alternative
fuels with high alcohol content can cause hard
starting, poor engine performance, and may cause
internal engine damage.

(Figure 10).
