Adding Oil and Gasoline
Engine Oil SAE 30: above 50 degrees F; 10w-30: 10-90 degrees F; 5w-30:
30 degrees F or below
Fuel Unleaded gasoline
NOTE: Use only the recommended high detergent engine oil. Other types of oil
could cause problems operating your machine. Please refer to your Engine Owner’s
Manual for detailed oil information.
1. Position the machine so the Frame and Engine are level. Remove the Oil
Fill/Dipstick (Figure 5 -Premier and Pro or Figure 6 -Pro-XL) and clean the
end of it with a rag.
2. Machines are shipped with no oil. Initially add 16 oz. of the oil recommended
by the Engine Manufacturer. Wait one minute for the oil to settle.
3. Replace the Dipstick (see Notice at top of page). Remove the Dipstick and
check the oil level (clean the Dipstick with the rag after checking).
4. 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.
5. Replace the Dipstick and screw all the way down when full.
6. Remove the Gas Fill Cap and 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 (Figure 7). Be careful not to overfill and
reinstall the Gas Fill Cap before starting the engine. See your Engine
Owner’s Manual for more detailed information.
NOTE: To refill the gas tank, turn the engine OFF and let the engine cool at least
five minutes before removing the gas fill cap.

The Frame and Engine must be level to get an accurate reading when
adjusting the oil level. Use blocks to adjust the height of the cutting head to
level the Frame.
Remove any blocking used to level the Engine before operating the DR Stump
Grinder.

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 Engine must be level.
- Premier and Pro Models (short dipstick): The dipstick should not
be screwed down to ensure an accurate oil level reading.
- Pro XL Models (long dipstick): The dipstick should be screwed
down to ensure an accurate oil level reading.
