GB–1
The Toro warning system in this manual identifies
potential hazards and has special safety messages that
help you and others avoid personal injury, even death.
DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION are signal
words used to identify the level of hazard. However,
regardless of the hazard, be extremely careful.
Before
1. Read and understand the contents of this manual
Operating
before operating the snowthrower. Become
familiar with all controls and know how to stop
the engine quickly.
DANGER signals an extreme hazard that will cause
serious injury or death if the recommended
precautions are not followed.
WARNING signals a hazard that may cause serious
injury or death if the recommended precautions are
not followed.
CAUTION signals a hazard that may cause minor or
moderate injury if the recommended precautions are
not followed.
Two other words are also used to highlight
information. “Important” calls attention to special
mechanical information and “Note” emphasizes
general information worthy of special attention.
Safety
T
o ensur
to gain knowledge of the product, it is essential
that you or any other operator of the snowthrower
read and understand the contents of this manual
before the motor is ever started. Pay particular
attention to the safety alert symbol which
means CAUTION, W
“personal safety instruction.” Read and
understand the instruction because it has to do
with safety. Failure to comply with instruction
may result in personal injury.
The following instructions are comparable to the
Instructions For Safe Snowthrowing adopted by the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The
snowthrower is designed and tested to offer

2. Keep everyone, especially children and pets,
away from snowthrower and area of operation.
Never allow children to operate the
snowthrower. Adults should operate the
snowthrower only after reading this manual.
3. Inspect area thoroughly where snowthrower will
be used. Remove doormats, sleds, boards, sticks,
wire, and any other foreign objects which might
be picked up and thrown by the snowthrower.
4. Keep all shields and safety devices in place. If a
shield, safety device or decal is illegible,
damaged or lost, repair or replace it before
beginning operation. Also, tighten any loose
nuts, bolts or screws.
5. Wear adequate winter clothing and rubber boots
that will ensure proper footing on slippery
surfaces. Do not wear loose fitting clothing that
could possibly get caught in moving parts.
6. Adjust both skids so auger/impeller housing
clears gravel or crushed rock surfaces.
7. Before starting the engine, move speed shift
control to N (neutral) and ensure that
auger/impeller control and traction drive control
are in disengaged position.
8. Always use a grounded, three wire plug and cord
to start snowthrower equipped with an electric
starter. Extension cord must be connected to a
properly grounded outlet.
9. Fill fuel tank with gasoline before starting the
engine. A
gasoline is highly flammable, handle it carefully.

C. Open doors if engine will be started in the
garage because exhaust fumes are
dangerous and could possibly be deadly. Do
not run engine indoors.
D. Wipe up any spilled gasoline. Reinstall
gasoline container cap and snowthrower
fuel tank cap securely before starting the
engine.
O AN ENGINE
14. Operate the snowthrower only when there is
good visibility or light. Always maintain secure
footing and balance and keep a firm grip on the
handles, especially when operating in reverse.
Walk; never run.
15. Be attentive when using the snowthrower, and
stay alert for holes in the terrain and other
hidden hazards. Be careful when clearing snow
from a gravel drive because stones could be
picked up and thrown if skids are not adjusted so
auger/impeller housing clears all rocks.

running.

17. Never direct discharge of snow or operate
snowthrower near bystanders, glass enclosures,
automobiles and trucks, window wells or a
drop-off without proper adjustment of the snow
chute and deflector.
18. Clear snow from slopes by going up and down,
never across the face. Use caution when
changing directions. Use lower gear and rear
wheel position when operating on slopes. Never
clear snow from steep slopes.
19. Do not overload the snowthrower by clearing
snow at too fast a rate.
20. DO NOT USE SNOWTHROWER ON A
ROOF.
21. If a foreign object is hit or snowthrower vibrates
abnormally, stop engine by turning key to OFF
and wait for all moving parts to stop. Pull wire
off spark plug and check snowthrower
immediately for possible damage, an obstruction
or loose parts. Vibration is generally a sign of
trouble. Repair any damage before starting
engine and operating snowthrower again.
12. Before leaving the operator’s position (behind
handles), remove key from switch.
13. Allow engine to warm up outdoors before
clearing snow
GB–3
.
22. Do not touch engine while it is running or soon
after it is stopped because the engine will be hot
enough to cause a burn. Do not add oil or check
oil level in crankcase when engine is running.
23. Never operate snowthrower at high transport
speeds on slippery surfaces. Use care when
backing.
Maintaining
24. Perform only those maintenance instructions
described in this manual. Shut engine off before
performing any maintenance service or
adjustment. Additionally, pull wire off spark
plug and keep wire away from plug to prevent
accidental starting. If major repairs are ever
needed, contact your local Authorized TORO
Service Dealer for assistance.
25. Keep snowthrower in safe operating condition
by keeping nuts, bolts, and screws tight. Check
engine mounting bolts frequently to ensure they
are tight.
Snowthrower
metal container. Remove key from ignition
switch when storing snowthrower. Store key in a
memorable place.
29. At the time of manufacture, the snowthrower
conformed with or exceeded OPEI safety
standards in effect for snowthrowers. Therefore,
to ensure best performance and safety, purchase
genuine TORO replacement parts and
accessories to keep the TORO all TORO.
NEVER USE “WILL FIT” REPLACEMENT
PAR
TS AND ACCESSORIES.
30.
For safety reasons, use only those accessories
and attachments recommended by The TORO
Company to ensure continued safety certification
of the product. Using unapproved accessories
and attachments could contribute to a potential
hazard.
26. Do not overspeed the engine by changing
governor settings. Recommended maximum
engine speed is 3500 rpm. To ensure safety and
accuracy, check maximum engine speed (3500
rpm) with a tachometer.
27. Allow engine to cool before storing in an
enclosure such as a garage or storage shed.
NEVER ST
HOUSE (LIVING AREA) OR BASEMENT
BECAUSE GASOLINE AND FUMES ARE

AND DANGEROUS IF INHALED. Do not
store snowthrower near any open flame or where
gasoline fumes may be ignited by a spark.
28. When storing the snowthrower for an extended
time—off-season storage or 30 days—drain
gasoline from fuel tank to prevent a potential
hazard. Store gasoline in a safety-approved red
