A 252cc Toro Premium 4-cycle OHV engine powers the blower, and with a 26-inch-wide clearing width and 20 inch intake height, you\u2019ll be back to playing in the snow in no time. The innovative Quick Stick control allows you to quickly and easily change steel chute direction and chute deflector with a single, smooth motion. Convenient one-hand operation levers allow single-handed operation, freeing the other hand to change speeds or the chute control without stopping. Give your arm muscles a break with self-propelled automatic steering for smooth, tight turning without pulling or strain \u2013 no triggers or levers required. The exclusive Anti-Clogging System measures snow intake to reduce clogging and maximize clearing efficiency. Equipped with a hardened gears in your auger gearbox \u2013 there are no shear pins to replace. Instead, if the auger hits hard material, the engine will stall to prevent damage. Ideal for concrete, asphalt and gravel surfaces. And with Toro\u2019s 3-year limited warranty, you can rest easy knowing that you\u2019re prepared for anything winter has in store. Count on it.<\/p>\n<p>Storage dimensions: 56 in x 27.8 in x 43.5 in (142.2 cm x 70.6 cm x 110.5 cm).<\/p>\n<p>Choose the right fuel for your snow blower. For best starting results use Non-ethanol fuel with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Use fresh fuel less than 30 days old, add fuel stabilizer to reduce starting problems. Do not mix oil with gas.
