Adding Oil and Gasoline

WARNING!

You must add oil before starting the engine. This machine is 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.

Important!

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.

Engine Oil Capacity

Briggs & Stratton Quantum 5.0 16-22 oz. (0.45-0.63L)

Tip:

To avoid confusion, we recommend leaving the caps on the fuel and oil fills until you are ready to pour either gasoline or oil into the correct fill.

Use only SAE 30 high detergent oil. Other types of oil could cause problems operating your machine. Please refer to your engine manufacturer’s owner’s manual for detailed oil information.

Note:

You must remove the tool tray to access the oil and fuel reservoirs.

1. Place the machine on a level surface and initially add 16 oz. (½ quart) of SAE 30 high detergent oil recommended by the engine manufacturer and wait one minute for the oil to settle. (Figure 2)

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)

3. Fill the gas tank to within ¼ inch of the top with fresh, unleaded gas. See your engine manufacturer’s owner’s manual for more information.
