Schedule for appropriate service intervals. Refer to Briggs & Stratton Operator’s Manual.
To prolong vehicle life, some maintenance items must be serviced more frequently on vehicles used under severe driv-
ing conditions such as extreme temperatures, extreme dust/debris conditions, frequent use with maximum load.
CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL
Refer to Briggs & Stratton Operator’s Manual for oil checking and maintenance.
Do not overfill engine. Too much oil may cause engine to smoke or cause spark plug fouling.
Do not overfill engine. Too much oil may cause smoking or allow oil to enter the air filter enclosure.
The oil dipstick/fill cap must be in place before operating the engine. Failure to install the dipstick/fill cap will result in oil
becoming contaminated and/or oil being discharged into the engine compartment.
Oil change must be performed through the dipstick tube using a pump.
Contact E-Z-GO service parts for oil pump or purchase locally.
If vehicle is to be stored over winter months, it can be stored with old oil left in engine. The oil should be changed as part of
spring maintenance. This will remove any moisture that has accumulated during storage.
Be aware that engine fluids may be hot and contact to the skin may cause severe burns. Wear
rubber gloves to protect skin from exposure to the old oil and degreaser.
