Oil Recommendations
We recommend the use of Briggs & Stratton Warranty Certified oils for best
performance. Other high-quality detergent oils are acceptable if classified for service SF,
SG, SH, SJ or higher. Do not use special additives.
Outdoor temperatures determine the proper oil viscosity for the engine. Use the chart to
select the best viscosity for the outdoor temperature range expected.
* Below 40
°
F (4
°
C) the use of SAE 30 will result in hard starting.
** Above 80
°
F (27
°
C) the use of 10W-30 may cause increased oil consumption. Check
oil level more frequently.
How To Check/Add Oil - Figure
2 3
Before adding or checking the oil
•
Place engine level.
•
Clean the oil fill area of any debris.
1. Remove the dipstick ( A ) and wipe with a clean cloth (Figure 2).
2. Completely insert the dipstick.
3. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level. It should be at the FULL mark (
B ) on the
dipstick.
4. If the oil is low, remove the oil fill cap ( J ).
5. Remove the dipstick. Pour the oil slowly into the engine oil fill ( C ). Do not overfill.
Important: When adding oil, adequate venting is required as follows:
•
Remove the dipstick.
•
Make sure adequate clearance ( D ) is maintained between the oil fill device ( E )
and the engine oil fill ( C ). See Figure 3.
6. Install and tighten the oil fill cap.
NOTICE: Before starting the engine, wipe the engine clean of any spilled oil.
7. After adding oil, install the dipstick. Start and run engine at idle for five minutes. Shut
off engine. Wait three minutes and check oil level. If required, add oil to bring oil level
to the FULL mark ( B ) on the dipstick (Figure 2).
8. Install the dipstick.
Oil Pressure
If the oil pressure is too low, a pressure switch (if equipped) will either stop the engine or
activate a warning device on the equipment. If this occurs, stop the engine and check the
oil level with the dipstick.
If the oil level is below the ADD mark, add oil until it reaches the FULL mark. Start the
engine and check for proper pressure before continuing to operate.
If the oil level is between the ADD and FULL marks,
do not start the engine. Contact
any Briggs & Stratton 3/LC Authorized Dealer to have the oil pressure problem
corrected.
Fuel Recommendations
WARNING
Missing or inoperative “fuel lock-off” valve can cause a fire or
explosion.
•
Do not operate the equipment if the “fuel lock-off” valve is missing or inoperative.
Fuel must meet these requirements:
•
Use clean, dry fuel, free of moisture or any particulate material. Using fuels outside
the following recommended values may cause performance problems.
•
In engines set up to run on LPG, commercial grade HD5 LPG is recommended.
Recommended fuel composition is fuel with a minimum fuel energy of 2500 BTU’s/ft
3
with maximum propylene content of 5% and butane and heavier gas content of 2.5%
and minimum propane content of 90%.
NG or LPG engines are certified to operate on natural or liquid propane gas. The
emissions control system for this engine is EM (Engine Modifications).
WARNING:
The equipment on which this engine is mounted is equipped
with an automatic safety gas “fuel lock-off” valve. Do not operate the equipment if the
“fuel lock-off” valve is missing or inoperative.
How To Add Fuel
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
When Adding Fuel
•
Fill fuel tank outdoors or in well-ventilated area.
•
Check fuel lines, tank, cap, and fittings frequently for cracks or leaks.
Replace if necessary.
For information on refueling natural or LP gas engines, read the operating instructions
supplied by the equipment manufacturer.
Coolant Recommendations
Coolant capacity (see the equipment manufacture’s manual)
Important: This is a liquid-cooled engine. A 50/50% mixture of phosphate-free
antifreeze and tap water is required for cooling, rust resistance, and lubrication of the
water pump.
How To Check/Add Coolant
Severe thermal burns can occur by escaping steam or hot coolant.
WARNING
•
DO NOT remove radiator cap or reservoir cap if engine is warm or running.
•
Stop engine and allow it to cool before removing radiator cap or reservoir cap
and before changing or adding coolant.
Important:
This is a liquid cooled engine. A 50/50% mixture of phosphate-free
antifreeze and tap water is required for cooling, rust resistance and lubrication of the
water pump.
1. Before operating, check the coolant level. The coolant level must be between the
FULL and the LOW/ADD marks on the coolant reservoir. If the coolant level is low,
add a 50/50% coolant mixture of phosphate-free antifreeze and tap water to the
reservoir.
