Adding Oil and Gasoline

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.

NOTE: Use only SAE 30 high detergent oil. 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 into the Oil Fill (Figure 1 on page 8) and wait one minute for the oil to settle.

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

mark. Be careful not to overfill.

3. Fill the Fuel Tank to not more than 1/4" from the bottom of the Fill Neck with fresh, unleaded gas. See your Engine Owner’s

Manual for more information.

4. Open the Fuel Shut-Off Valve, which is located on the bottom of the Fuel Tank and accessed from the rear (Figure 1), if your

model is equipped with one.

Check the Tire Pressures

The maximum Tire pressure is marked on the side of each Tire. Do not exceed the manufacturer’s recommended maximum

pressure

• 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 level 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 to ensure an accurate oil level reading.

- the dipstick SHOULD NOT

be screwed down on Honda and Kawasaki Engines to ensure an accurate oil level reading.
