NEW PRODUCTS Toro introduces synthetic oil designed for small engines Designed specifically for lawn and garden equipment, Toro’s new Full Synthetic 4-Cycle Engine Oil provides extreme performance in all temperatures, enhancing engine life. Engine oils formulated for automotive applica- tions don’t always provide the optimum level of cor- rosion protection in the harsh environments and long periods of storage common with lawn and gar- den equipment. Toro Full Synthetic 4-Cycle Engine Oil delivers special rust- and corrosion-prohibiting additives, protection against high heat, easier cold starts, plus increased anti-oxidants and detergent additives. Using Toro Full Synthetic 4-Cycle Engine Oil in lawn and garden equipment protects engine components from premature wear caused by metal-to-metal contact that occurs during use. That’s because Toro’s oil contains higher anti-wear additives generally not found in traditional auto- motive or other lawn and garden oils. Automotive engine oils are typically designed for lower-revving engines; Toro Synthetic 4-Cycle Engine Oil is designed for high-revving and higher-temperature small engines. Toro’s Full Synthetic 4-Cycle Engine Oil can be used in any gas or diesel small engine specifying SAE 30/10W-30, including Toro products with a Kawasaki, Kohler, Honda, Daihatsu, or Briggs & Stratton small engine.

Lithium-Ion trimmers The new FSA 65 and FSA 85 grass trimmers — the latest products available for the 36-volt Stihl Lithium-Ion battery technology system — deliver fuel savings, time savings and environmental benefits for gasoline-free trimming applica- tions. Eliminating fuel costs and engine exhaust emissions, these easy-to-use grass trimmers offer users another way to reduce their impact on the environment. With this new tech- nology, there is no more fuel mixing, no power cords, and greatly reduced engine maintenance. Plus, high cutting speeds allow the user to complete trimming tasks quickly. The Stihl FSA 65 and FSA 85 run at full speed until the battery is depleted, with no gradual drop in power as with other battery technologies. Designed for user comfort, the FSA 65 and FSA 85 are lightweight with excellent bal- ance and low vibration. And starting could not be more simple — just pull the trigger. Both trimmers have a convenient on-board hanging slot that allows for easy stor- age, as well as a loop handle that adjusts without the use of tools. Stihl FSA 65 Built for homeowners and occasional users, the FSA 65 curved-shaft grass trim- mer is 8 times quieter than the Stihl gasoline-powered equivalent, making it ideal for noise-sensitive areas. Stihl FSA 85 The FSA 85 professional straight-shaft grass trimmer (pictured) is ideal for jobs in densely populated and noise-restricted areas; and with zero exhaust emissions, it is an ideal choice for universities, municipalities and professionals looking to reduce their impact on the environment. The FSA 85 is 5 times quieter than the Stihl gasoline-powered equivalent. Stihl Inc. Stihl’s FSA 65 and FSA 85 38 OUTDOOR POWER EQUIPMENT www.outdoorpowerequipment.com
