1. Do not smoke near fuel.
2. Mix and pour fuel outdoors and where there are
no sparks or flames.
3. Always shut off the engine before refueling.
Never remove the Edger fuel tank cap while the
engine is running or right after just stopping the
engine.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Gasoline contains gasses that can build up
pressure inside a gas tank.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Fuel can be sprayed on you when removing
gas cap.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Remove fuel cap slowly to avoid injury
from fuel spray.
4. Always open the fuel tank cap slowly to release
any possible overpressure inside the tank.
5. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Stop filling 1/4–1/2
inch (6mm–13mm) from the top of the tank.
6. Tighten the tank fuel cap carefully but firmly
after refilling.
7. Wipe up any spilled fuel before starting the
engine.
8. Move the Edger at least 10 feet (3 m) away from
the fueling location and fuel storage container
before starting the engine (Fig. 2).
Recommended Oil Type
Only use a two-cycle engine oil formulated for use in
high-performance, air-cooled two-cycle engines. Toro
brand 2-cycle oil is formulated for use in
high-performance, air-cooled two-cycle engines.
IMPORTANT: Do not use National Marine
Manufacturer's Association (NMMA) or BIA
certified oils. This type of 2–cycle engine oil
does not have the proper additives for
air-cooled, 2–cycle engines and can cause
engine damage.
Do not use automotive motor oil. This type of
oil does not have the proper additives for
air-cooled, 2–cycle engines and can cause
engine damage.
Recommended Fuel Type
Use clean, fresh lead-free gasoline, including
oxygenated or reformulated gasoline, with an octane
rating of 85 or higher. To ensure freshness, purchase
only the quantity of gasoline that can be used in 30
days. Use of lead-free gasoline results in fewer
combustion chamber deposits and longer spark plug
life. Use of premium grade fuel is not necessary or
recommended.
Use Of Fuel Additives
IMPORTANT: NEVER USE METHANOL,
GASOLINE CONTAINING METHANOL,
GASOHOL CONTAINING MORE THAN
10% ETHANOL, PREMIUM GASOLINE,
OR WHITE GAS BECAUSE ENGINE
FUEL SYSTEM DAMAGE COULD
RESULT.
DO NOT USE FUEL ADDITIVES OTHER
THAN THOSE MANUFACTURED FOR
FUEL STABILIZATION DURING
STORAGE SUCH AS TORO'S
STABILIZER/CONDITIONER OR A
SIMILAR PRODUCT. TORO'S
STABILIZER/CONDITIONER IS A
PETROLEUM DISTILLATE BASED
CONDITIONER/STABILIZER.
TORO DOES NOT RECOMMEND
STABILIZERS WITH AN ALCOHOL BASE
SUCH AS ETHANOL, METHANOL OR
ISOPROPYL. ADDITIVES SHOULD NOT
BE USED TO TRY TO ENHANCE THE
POWER OR PERFORMANCE OF
MACHINE.
