BEFORE OPERATING
DANGER: Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under certain condi-
tions. Do not smoke when handling fuel and keep fuel far away from open
flames and sparks. Never buy more than a 30 day supply of gasoline. Store
it in an approved container. Keep gasoline out of the reach of children.
Refuel outdoors and only when engine is cold. Do not fill tank full. Fill tank
to just below bottom of filler neck, not into filler neck. This space is for ex-
pansion of fuel. Use funnel or spout to prevent spilling. Wipe up any spilled
gas. Assure area is dry before starting engine.
MIX GASOLINE AND OIL (Fig. 3)
1. APPROVED OIL—For simplicity and
best engine performance, mix the con-
tents of one 8-ounce bottle of Toro
32:1 Two-Cycle Oil with two gallons of
fresh, unleaded regular gasoline. You
can also use Toro “Easy Mix” Two-
Cycle Oil (3.2 ounce bottle mixed one
per gallon of gasoline 40:1 ratio) in this
Toro two-cycle engine. Leaded regular
gasoline may be used if unleaded
regular is not available.
Toro Two-Cycle Oil is specially formu-
lated to provide superior lubrication,
make starting easy, and prolong en-
gine life. If Toro Two-Cycle Oil is not
available, mix two gallons of gasoline
and 8 ounces of another high grade
two-cycle oil that has the NMMA or
BIA-TCW certification printed on the
label.
NEVER USE AUTOMOTIVE OIL (i.e. SAE
30, 10W30 etc.), TWO-CYCLE OIL
THAT IS NOT CERTIFIED NMMA/BIA-
TCW, OR THE WRONG MIX RATIO BE-
CAUSE THE ENGINE CAN BE DAM-
AGED, AND IT WOULD NOT BE COV-
ERED BY THE TORO WARRANTY.
2. Mixing Gasoline and Qil—Pour cor-
rect amount of two cycle oil into an
approved gasoline container and add a
half gallon of gasoline. Install cap on
gasoline container and shake the con-
tainer to mix oil and gas thoroughly.
Remove cap and add remaining
amount of gasoline.
Toro also recommends that Toro Stabi-
lizer/Conditioner be used regularly in all
Toro gasoline powered products during
operation and storage seasons. Toro
Stabilizer/Conditioner cleans the engine
during operation and prevents gum-like
varnish deposits from forming in the
engine during periods of storage.
IMPORTANT: NEVER USE METHANOL,
GASOLINE CONTAINING METHANOL,
GASOHOL CONTAINING MORE THAN
10% ETHANOL, PREMIUM GASOLINE,
OR WHITE GAS BECAUSE ENGINE
FUEL SYSTEM DAMAGE COULD RE-
SULT.
DO NOT USE FUEL ADDITIVES OTHER
THAN THOSE MANUFACTURED FOR
FUEL STABILIZATION DURING STOR-
AGE SUCH AS TORO'S STABILIZER/
CONDITIONER OR A SIMILAR PROD-
UCT. TORO'S STABILIZER/CONDI-
TIONER IS A PETROLEUM DISTILLATE
BASED CONDITIONER/STABILIZER.
TORO DOES NOT RECOMMEND STA-
BILIZERS WITH AN ALCOHOL BASE
SUCH AS ETHANOL, METHANOL OR
ISOPROPYL. ADDITIVES SHOULD NOT
BE USED TO TRY TO ENHANCE THE
POWER OR PERFORMANCE OF MA-
CHINE.
NOTE: Do not mix gasoline and oil in
the product fuel tank. Oil that is at
room temperature mixes easier and
more thoroughly than cold oil.

2. Turn key to ON and move choke
lever to ON (far right position).
3. Cover hole in center of primer with
thumb and push primer twice slowly (1
to 2 seconds per prime) for tempera-
tures above 0°F (~18°C). Push primer
slowly three times for temperatures be-
low 0°F (-18°C). DO NO NOT PRIME
IF THE ENGINE HAS BEEN RUNNING
AND IS HOT
Note: When starting engine for first
time or after running out of fuel, more
priming may be required to start en-
gine.

4b. ELECTRIC STARTING—Connect ex-
tension cord to snowthrower and stan-
dard household power outlet. Push
starter button. When engine starts, dis-
connect extension cord from
snowthrower and outlet.
STARTING/STOPPING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: Excessive running of the
electric starter could damage the
starter due to overheating. If you are
having difficulty starting the engine,
ONLY TRY THIS STARTING PROCE-
DURE TWICE. Run the electric starter
no more than 10 times at intervals of
5 seconds ON, 5 seconds OFF. If en-
gine does not start after this first at-
tempt, wait more than 40 minutes to
allow starter to cool before trying to
run starter again. Before repeating
engine starting procedure, check that
ignition key switch is ON, and make
sure there is fresh fuel in fuel tank.
If engine still will not start after a sec-
ond attempt, bring the snowthrower
to an Authorized Toro Service Dealer
for servicing.
5. When engine starts, move choke
lever to middie position after a few se-
conds of running time. After engine
has warmed up, move choke lever to
OFF position.
6. TO STOP ENGINE— Turn key to OFF,
and wait for all moving parts to stop
before leaving operator's position.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
When engine is running, dis-
charge rotor is turning. Objects
thrown from discharge chute can
cause personal injury. Keep your-
self and other people away from
discharge opening when engine is
running. Before leaving operating
position, stop engine by turning
key to OFF.
OPERATING TIPS (Fig. 5)
1. ADJUSTING DISCHARGE CHUTE—
Move the chute handle left and right to
adjust the direction of the snow
stream. The chute deflector handle on
top of the discharge chute controls the
height of the snow stream. Do not ov-
ertighten the chute deflector mounting
nuts so excessive force is required to
adjust the deflector.
2. SELF PROPELLING ACTION—The
snowthrower clears down to the ground
and propels itself forward when tilted
slightly forward so rotor blades strike
the ground. However, depth and height
of snow affects forward speed. Always
overlap each swath and discharge
downwind when possible.
NOTE: If snowthrower is tilted too far
forward, it will self-propel at a rapid
rate and snow will spray back at the
feet of the operator. Reduce lift on
handle slightly to self-propel at a mod-
erate rate.

2. Chute deflector handle
3. Deflector mounting nuts
3. Keep the area to be cleared free of
stones, toys, or other foreign objects
which may be picked up and thrown by
the rotor blades. Such items could be
covered by snowfall and, therefore,
unnoticed until struck by the rotor
blades. Always be sure to keep all
people and pets away from area of op-
eration to prevent possibility of being
hit by thrown objects.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
4. ON STEPS OR CUTTING THROUGH
DRIFTS—It is recommended that opera-
tor stand on right side of snowthrower
and hold it by upper handle and chute
handle (standing on left side may ex-
pose operator to engine exhaust). Use
a side-to-side sweeping motion to
clear snow.
5. It is not recommended that
snowthrower be used on gravel or
crushed rock driveways or walks. —
Should you find it necessary to clear
snow from crushed rock or gravel,
push down on handle to raise rotor
blades clear of loose material that
could be thrown by the blades and
push unit forward.
6. In some snow and cold weather
conditions, some controls and moving
parts may freeze solid. DO NOT USE
EXCESSIVE FORCE WHEN TRYING TO
OPERATE FROZEN CONTROLS. When
any control or part becomes hard to
operate, start the engine and let it run
for a few minutes. If control or part still
will not move with moderate force,
stop engine, remove ice or thaw out
snowthrower.
Never warm up snowthrower with
fuel in tank inside a building
where open flame or sparks are
present. Never store snowthrower
in house (living area) or basement
because gasoline and fumes are
highly flammable, explosive, and
dangerous if inhaled.
7. AFTER CLEARING SNOW—Let engine
run for a few minutes so ice does not
freeze moving parts solid. After engine
is shut off, wipe ice and snow off en-
tire unit.
IMPORTANT: STORE SNOWTHROWER
IN OPERATING POSITION ON ITS
WHEELS OR HANG ON A WALL BY

ITS HANDLE. TIPPING OR STORING
UNIT FORWARD ONTO FRONT HOUS-
ING MAY CAUSE HARD STARTING.
FOLDING SNOWTHROWER (Fig. 6)
The CCR POWERLITE folds compactly
for easy transporting or storage. To
fold up snowthrower, follow these in-
structions:
Always remove gasoline from
snowthrower fuel tank before
transporting in a closed car
trunk or vehicle; refer to Drain-
ing Gasoline, page 9. Gasoline

MAINTENANCE
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Keep snowthrower in safe operating
condition by cleaning the unit. Check
and tighten any loose nuts, bolts, and
screws. The scraper, drive belt, rotor
blades, and spark plug should be
checked once a year.
DRAINING GASOLINE
1. Stop engine. Remove key from
switch.
2. Remove cap from fuel tank and use
a pump type syphon to drain fuel into
a clean, approved fuel container.
3. After fuel is drained, start engine
and let it run until all fuel is consumed
and engine stops. Repeat the starting
procedure two more times to assure all
fuel is removed from the engine.
Note: This is the only procedure rec-
ommended for draining fuel because it
allows all fuel to be removed from fuel
tank.
REPLACING SCRAPER (Figs. 7 & 8)
Before each season, inspect scraper
for wear. When wear indicator groove
is worn away (Fig. 7), replace scraper
to prevent damage to underside of

REPLACING ROTOR BLADES
(Fig. 15 & 16)
Before each snow season, inspect ro-
tor blades for wear. When blade edge
has worn to the wear indicator hole
(Fig. 15), the blades must be replaced
to assure proper performance and pre-
vent damage to underside of
snowthrower. Always replace both
blades at the same time.
Note: Whenever rotor blades are re-
placed, scraper should also be re-
placed to assure proper snowthrower
operation and performance.

ADJUSTING CARBURETOR
The carburetor has been factory set,
and no adjustment is required. How-
ever, when operating snowthrower at
altitudes of 5000 feet above sea level
or higher, carburetor jets may have to
be changed. Contact your local Author-
ized Toro Service Dealer for assis-
tance.
MAINTENANCE
STORING SNOWTHROWER
1. For long term storage, either drain
gasoline from fuel tank or use a fuel
stabilizer before storing. To drain gaso-
line, refer to Draining Gasoline,
page 9. After fuel is drained, start en-
gine and let it run until all fuel is con-
sumed and engine stops. Repeat the
starting procedure two more times to
assure all gas is removed from the en-
gine. № gasoline is not drained, gum-
like varnish deposits will form and
cause poor engine operation or starting
problems.
Fuel can be left in gas tank only if a
fuel additive, such as Toro's Stabilizer/
Conditioner, is added to gasoline and
run through engine before storing.
Toro's Stabilizer/Conditioner is a petro-
leum distillate based conditioner/stabi-
lizer. Toro does not recommend stabi-
lizers with an alcohol base, such as
ethanol, methanol or isopropyl. Use
fuel additive in recommended quanti-
ties as specified on container.
Under normal conditions, all fuel addi-
tives remain effective in fuel for 6-8
months.
2. CYLINDER/PISTON CARE—Slowly pull
recoil starter until resistance is felt due
to compression pressure, then stop.
Release starter tension slowly to pre-
vent engine from reversing due to
compression pressure. This position
closes both the intake and exhaust
ports which prevents corrosion of the
cylinder bore.
3. TIGHTEN FASTENERS AND CLEAN—
Tighten screws, bolts, and nuts if nec-
essary. Repair or replace damaged
parts. Clean unit thoroughly.
4. STORE SNOWTHROWER—Cover
snowthrower and store in a clean, dry
place out of the reach of children.
Never store snowthrower in the house
or basement where ignition sources
may be present such as hot water and
space heaters, clothes dryers, and the
like. Allow engine to cool before stor-
ing in any enclosure.
TORO SERVICE SUPPORT
if help—concerning safety, set-up, operation, maintenance, or troubleshooting—is
ever needed, contact the local Authorized TORO Service Dealer or Distributor. Refer
to the “Yellow Pages” for assistance. In addition to skilled service technicians, the
dealer and distributor have factory approved accessories and replacement parts.
Keep your TORO all TORO. Buy genuine TORO replacement parts and accessories.
