adjuster and push the spring end through the hole at the
end of the spring cover (Fig. 4).
5. Hook the spring into the top hole of the control bar
bracket (Fig. 4).
6. Move the control bar back toward the handle to remove
the slack in the cable.
7. Ensure that a 1/16- to 1/8-inch (2 to 3 mm) gap exists
between the control bar and the handle (Refer to the
inset in Fig. 4). To adjust this gap, refer to Adjusting the
Control Cable on page 13.
Important The control cable must contain slack when
you disengage the control bar.
Before Operation
Mixing Gasoline and Oil
Your Toro snowthrower is powered by a two-cycle engine
that requires a 50:1 gasoline-to-oil mixture.
Use only clean, unleaded gasoline no more than 30 days old
and with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Using unleaded
gasoline reduces combustion chamber deposits and
promotes longer spark plug life.
Engines certified to comply with U.S. EPA emission
regulations for ULGE engines are certified to operate on a
mixture of regular unleaded gasoline and oil, include the
following emission control system(s): EM and TWC (if
equipped), and do not include any user-adjustable features.
Important Do not use methanol, gasoline containing
methanol, gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol,
premium gasoline, or white gas. Using these fuels can
damage the fuel system.
Important Do not use an automotive oil (such as SAE
30 or 10W30), a two-cycle oil that is not NMMA
TCW-certified, or a fuel mixed at the wrong gasoline-to-oil
ratio. This can cause engine damage not covered under the
Toro warranty.
