Mixing Instructions
IMPORTANT: Never mix gasoline and oil
directly in the Brushcutter fuel tank.
1.
Always mix fuel and oil in a clean container
approved for gasoline.
2.
Mark the container to identify it as fuel mix for
the Brushcutter.
3.
Use regular unleaded gasoline and fill the
container with half the required amount of
gasoline.
4.
Pour the correct amount of oil into the container
then add the remaining amount of gasoline.
5.
Close the container tightly and shake it
momentarily to evenly mix the oil and the
gasoline before filling the fuel tank on the
Brushcutter.
6.
When refilling the Brushcutter fuel tank, clean
around the fuel tank cap to prevent dirt and
debris from entering the tank during cap
removal.
7.
Always shake the premix fuel container
momentarily before filling the fuel tank
8.
Always use a spout or funnel when fueling to
reduce fuel spillage.
9.
Fill the tank only to within 1/4–1/2 inch
(6mm–13mm) from the top of the tank. Avoid
filling to the top of the tank filler neck.
Starting And Stopping
Before Starting The Engine
1.
Fill the fuel tank as instructed in the Before
Operation section of this manual.
2.
Rest the Brushcutter on the ground.
3.
Make sure the Brushcutter blade is clear of any
broken glass, nails, wire, rocks or other debris.
4.
Keep all bystanders, children and animals away
from the working area.
Cold Starting Procedure
The carburetors on Toro engines contain a choke
system. To start a “cold” engine properly, perform the
following procedure:
1.
Pump the primer bulb at the bottom of the
carburetor until fuel can be seen flowing through
the fuel return line to the fuel tank (Fig. 13).
(Flowing fuel should be almost clear, not foamy
or full of bubbles.)
2.
Move the choke lever to the closed (
) position
and move the stop switch to the “ON” position
(Figs. 14 and 15).
3.
Lock the throttle trigger in the fast-idle start
position, then pull the starter handle (Figs. 14
and 15).
4.
After the engine starts, move the choke lever to
the open (
) position, then squeeze and release
the throttle trigger to allow it to return to the idle
position (Figs. 14 and 15).
If the engine stops running before you move the
choke lever to the open (
) position:
A.
Go ahead and open the choke (Fig. 14).
B.
Make sure the throttle trigger is set to the
fast-idle start position (Fig. 15).
C.
Pull the starter handle until the engine starts
(Fig. 14).
