Adding Oil and Gasoline
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.
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.
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.
