Adding the Engine Oil and Gasoline

•

YOU MUST ADD OIL BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE. THIS MACHINE SHIPPED WITHOUT OIL.

TRACES OF OIL MAY BE IN THE RESERVOIR FROM FACTORY TESTING, BUT YOU MUST ADD OIL

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE. FILL THE RESERVOIR SLOWLY CHECKING THE DIPSTICK

FREQUENTLY TO AVOID OVERFILLING.

• TO GET AN ACCURATE READING WHEN CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL:

⇒ THE MACHINE SHOULD BE ON A LEVEL SURFACE.

⇒ THE DIPSTICK SHOULD BE SCREWED DOWN ON BRIGGS & STRATTON ENGINES.

Capacities

Briggs & Stratton 10.0 HP Intek Engine SAE 30 - 28 oz. (.83L)

Gasoline Tank Unleaded gasoline, 1 US gal. (3.8 L)

Tip: To avoid confusion, we recommend leaving the caps on the fuel and engine oil fills and only removing

one cap each time when you are ready to pour gasoline or oil into the correct fill.

NOTE: Use SAE 30 high detergent oil classified “For Service SF, SG, SH, SJ” or higher. Do not use special

additives. Other types of oil could cause problems operating your machine. Please refer to your Engine

Owner’s Manual for detailed oil information.

1. Place the machine on a level surface and initially add 1/2 of the SAE 30 high detergent oil recommended

by the engine manufacturer and wait one minute for the oil to settle (Figure 2 on page 15).

2. Check the dipstick and continue adding a few ounces of oil at a time, rechecking the dipstick until the oil

reaches the fill mark. Be careful not to overfill (Figure 2 on page 15).

FILL GAS TANK OUTDOORS OR IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA, AWAY FROM SPARKS, OPEN FLAMES, PILOT

LIGHTS, HEAT, AND OTHER IGNITION SOURCES.

3. Fill the gas tank with fresh, unleaded gas (with a minimum of 85 Octane), to approximately 1" to 1-

1/2" below the top of the fill neck to allow for fuel expansion. Be careful not to overfill and reinstall

the cap before starting the engine. See your Engine Owner’s Manual for more information.

NOTE: To refill the gas tank, turn the engine OFF and let the engine cool at least two (2) minutes before

removing the gas fill cap.
