Oil Recommendations

We recommend the use of Briggs & Stratton Warranty Certified oils for best

performance. Other high-quality detergent oils are acceptable if classified for service SF,

SG, SH, SJ or higher. Do not use special additives.

Outdoor temperatures determine the proper oil viscosity for the engine. Use the chart to

select the best viscosity for the outdoor temperature range expected.

* Below 40°F(4°C) the use of SAE 30 will result in hard starting.

** Above 80°F(27°C) the use of 10W-30 may cause increased oil consumption. Check

oil level more frequently.

How To Check/Add Oil - Figure

2 3

Before adding or checking the oil

• Place engine level.

• Clean the oil fill area of any debris.

1. Remove the dipstick (A) and wipe with a clean cloth (Figure 2).

2. Completely insert the dipstick.

3. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level. It should be at the FULL mark (B)onthe

dipstick.

4. If the oil is low, remove the oil fill cap (J).

5. Remove the dipstick. Pour the oil slowly into the engine oil fill (C). Do not overfill.

Important: When adding oil, adequate venting is required as follows:

• Remove the dipstick.

• Make sure adequate clearance (D) is maintained between the oil fill device (E)

and the engine oil fill (C).SeeFigure3.

6. Install and tighten the oil fill cap.

NOTICE: Before starting the engine, wipe the engine clean of any spilled oil.

7. After adding oil, install the dipstick. Start and run engine at idle for five minutes. See

the How To Start The Engine section. Shut off engine. Wait three minutes and

check oil level. If required, add oil to bring oil level to the FULL mark (B)onthe

dipstick (Figure 2).

8. Install the dipstick.

Oil Pressure

If the oil pressure is too low, a pressure switch (if equipped) will either stop the engine or

activate a warning device on the equipment. If this occurs, stop the engine and check the

oil level with the dipstick.

If the oil level is below the ADD mark, add oil until it reaches the FULL mark. Start the

engine and check for proper pressure before continuing to operate.

If the oil level is between the ADD and FULL marks, do not start the engine. Contact

any Briggs & Stratton 3/LC Authorized Dealer to have the oil pressure problem

corrected.

Fuel Recommendations

Fuel must meet these requirements:

• Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.

• A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON). High altitude use, see below.

• Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or up to 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary

butyl ether) is acceptable.

CAUTION: Do not use unapproved gasolines, such as E85. Do not mix oil in gasoline or

modify the engine to run on alternate fuels. This will damage the engine components and

void the engine warranty.

To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix a fuel stabilizer into the fuel. See

Storage. All fuel is not the s ame. If starting or performance problems occur, change fuel

providers or change brands. This engine is certified to operate on gasoline. The

emissions control system for this engine is EM (Engine Modifications).

High Altitude

At altitudes over 3,000 feet (900 meters), a minimum 85 octane/85 AKI (89 RON)

gasoline is acceptable. To remain emissions compliant, high altitude adjustment is

required. Operation without this adjustment will cause decreased performance,

increased fuel consumption, and increased emissions. See a Briggs & Stratton 3/LC

Authorized Dealer for high altitude adjustment information.

Operation of the engine at altitudes below 2,500 feet (762 meters) with the high altitude

kit is not recommended.

How To Add Fuel - Figure

WARNING
