CHANGING OIL FILTER (if equipped)
Change oil filter after every 100 hours or every season.
[1] Drain engine oil and remove oil filter.

OIL PRESSURE
If oil pressure drops below 1-4 psi (.1-.2 kg/cm 2 ), an oil
pressure switch (if engine is equipped) will either activate a
warning device or stop the engine. Check oil level with
dipstick. If oil level is between ADD and FULL mark on
dipstick, Do not try to restart engine. Contact an Authorized
Briggs & Stratton Service Dealer. Do not operate engine
until oil pressure is corrected.
If oil level is below ADD mark on dipstick, add oil to bring
level to FULL mark. Restart engine and check oil pressure.
If pressure is normal, continue to operate engine.
Note: Oil pressure gauge, if engine is equipped, is supplied
by manufacturer of equipment.

All engines have a round air cleaner cartridge. In addition,
some engines have a pre-cleaner.
