Mixing Gasoline And Oil - Toro ProLine 53030 Operator's Manual

Mixing Gasoline And Oil

IMPORTANT: The engine used on this Edger
is of a 2–cycle design. The internal moving
parts of the engine, i.e., crankshaft bearings,
piston pin bearings and piston to cylinder
wall contact surfaces, require oil mixed with
the gasoline for lubrication.
Failure to add oil to the gasoline or failure to
mix oil with the gasoline at the appropriate
ratio will cause major engine damage which
will void your warranty.
For your fuel premix, only use a quality oil
designed for 2–cycle air cooled engines. Toro
50:1 2–Cycle Oil is formulated to meet the
requirements of high-performance, air-cooled
two-cycle engines.
Fuel Mixture
The fuel:oil ratio is 50 parts gasoline to 1 part oil or
50:1.
Note: Never use a mixing ratio less than
50:1 regardless of the oil package
mixing instructions. Ratios less the
50:1, (for example, 60:1, 80:1,
100:1), reduce the amount of
lubrication to the internal moving
parts of the engine and can cause
damage.

Mixing Instructions
IMPORTANT: Never mix gasoline and oil
directly in the Edger 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 Edger.
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 Edger.
6. When refilling the Edger 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.
