Adding Oil and Gasoline



YOU MUST ADD OIL BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE. THIS MACHINE 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.


Engine Oil Capacity

Briggs & Stratton 8.25 Torque, Intek

20 oz. (0.60 L)

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 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. (1/2 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 Fuel Tank to not more than 1/4"

from the bottom of the Fill Neck with fresh,
unleaded gas. See the Engine
Manufacturer’s Owner’s Manual for more
information.

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.
