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.
Tools needed
:
You will need approximately 15 ounces of SAE 30 high detergent oil.
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.
1. Add 15 ounces of SAE 30 high detergent oil and wait one minute for the oil to settle.
(
Figure 3
)
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.
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 and Stratton engines.
⇒
The dipstick should NOT be screwed down on Kawasaki 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. Use
approximately 15 ounces of SAE 30 high detergent oil.
