Before Starting
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive. A
fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and
others.
To prevent a static charge from igniting the
gasoline, place the container and/or
snowthrower on the ground before filling, not
in a vehicle or on an object.
Fill the tank outdoors when the engine is
cold. Wipe up spills.
Do not handle gasoline when smoking or
around an open flame or sparks.
Store gasoline in an approved fuel container,
out of the reach of children.
3329-459

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-certified
two-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 two-cycle oil to
the gasoline according
to the chart below:
m-6188
50:1 Gasoline-to-Oil Ratio Mixing Chart

Operating Tips
• Remove the snow as soon as possible after it
falls.
• To self-propel, raise the handle and tilt the
snowthrower slightly forward, lifting the wheels
off the ground. The more you tilt the handle
forward, the faster the snowthrower self-propels.
• If the snowthrower does not propel itself forward
on slippery surfaces or in heavy snow, push
forward on the handle, but allow the snowthrower
to work at its own pace.
• Overlap each swath to ensure complete snow
removal.
• Discharge the snow downwind whenever
possible.
• In snowy and cold conditions, some controls and
moving parts may freeze. Do not use excessive
force when trying to operate frozen controls.
If you have difficulty operating any control or part,
start the engine and let it run for a few minutes.
3329-459

Preventing Freeze-up after Use
• Let the engine run for a few minutes to prevent
moving parts from freezing. Stop the engine, wait
for all moving parts to stop, and remove ice and
snow from the snowthrower.
• With the engine off, pull the recoil starter handle
several times and push the electric start button
once (if applicable) to prevent the recoil and
electric starters from freezing up.
Maintenance
Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position.

Adjusting the Control Cable
Important: Check the control cable for proper
adjustment initially, after the first operating hour, and
then annually thereafter.
Checking the Cable
1. Move the control bar
back toward the handle
to remove the slack in
the cable.
2. Ensure that a 1/16
to 1/8 in. (2 to 3 mm)
gap (A) exists between
the control bar and the
handle. To adjust the
cable, refer to Adjusting
the Cable below.
Important: The control
cable must contain
some slack when you
disengage the control
bar for the rotor blades
to stop properly.

wear. When a rotor blade edge has worn down to the
wear indicator hole (A), have an Authorized Service
Dealer replace the rotor blades and the scraper.
A
m-6202
m-6200a
Note: Moving the Z-fitting higher decreases the gap
between the control bar and the handle; moving it
lower increases the gap.
3. Replace the spring cover and hook the end of the
control cable into the bottom hole of the control bar.
4. Check the adjustment (refer to Checking the
Cable on page 9).
Note: After extended use, the drive belt may wear
and lose its proper belt tension. If the drive belt slips
(continuously squeals) under a heavy load, increase
the belt tension by inserting the spring end into the
top hole of the control bar. The belt may slip (squeal)
in wet conditions; to dry out the drive system, start
the rotor and run it without a load for 30 seconds.

Storage
Important: Store the snowthrower in its operating
position and on its wheels. Storing the snowthrower
on its front housing may cause hard starting.
Storing the Snowthrower
Gasoline fumes are highly flammable, explosive,
and dangerous if inhaled. If you store the product
in an area with an open flame, the gasoline fumes
may ignite and cause an explosion.
Do not store the snowthrower in a house (living
area), basement, or any other area where ignition
sources may be present, such as hot water and
space heaters, clothes dryers, furnaces, and
other like appliances.
Important: Do not use the chute handle to lift the
snowthrower. This can damage the chute handle.
1. Add a fuel stabilizer/conditioner to the fuel in the
fuel tank as directed.
Note: If you use Toro 50:1 2-Cycle Oil (Fuel
Stabilizer Added), you do not need to add a fuel
stabilizer/conditioner.
2. Run the engine for 5 minutes to distribute the
conditioned fuel through the fuel system.
3. Stop the engine and allow it to cool.
4. Use a hand pump to pump the fuel from the fuel
tank into an approved fuel container, or run the
engine until it stops.
5. Start the engine and run it until it stops.
6. Choke or prime the engine, start it a third time,
and run the engine until it will not start.
7. Slowly pull the recoil starter until you feel
resistance due to compression pressure, then stop.
8. Release the starter tension gradually by allowing
the rope to go back slowly to prevent the engine from
reversing due to compression pressure.
9. Dispose of unused fuel properly. Recycle it
according to local codes, or use it in your automobile.
Note: Do not store stabilized fuel for more than
90 days.
10. Tighten all loose screws, bolts, and locknuts.
Repair or replace any damaged parts.
