ENGINE OIL REQUIREMENTS
CAUTION:
GASOLINE ENGINES ARE SHIPPED WITHOUT OIL IN THE CRANKCASE.
ATTEMPTING TO RUN THE ENGINE WITHOUT FILLING THE CRANKCASE AND
REDUCER WITH OIL WILL CAUSE SERIOUS ENGINE DAMAGE AND MAY VOID THE
WARRANTY.
6.5.1
Briggs & Stratton Engines
Before starting the engine, check and add oil according to the viscosity chart shown in your engine manual. Use a high
quality detergent oil classified “For Service SF, SG, SH,” such as SAE 30 oil. Do NOT use special additives with
recommended oils. Do NOT mix oil with gasoline.
Add oil and fill to overflowing as shown in your engine manual. Oil capacity is about 2/3 quart (21 ounces or 0.6 liter).
The gear reducer must also be filled with oil. To fill, pour SAE 30 oil into oil fill hole until it runs out the level check
hole. Refer to the engine manual for details on filling the gear reducer.
After filling with or changing oil, start and run the engine at idle for 30 seconds. Shut engine off. Wait 30 seconds and
check oil level.
6.5.2
Honda Engines
For both the engine and gear reducer, use Honda 4-stroke oil or an equivalent high detergent, premium quality motor oil
certified to meet or exceed U.S. automobile manufacturer’s requirements for Service Classification SG, SF/CC, CD. SAE
10W-30 is recommended for general, all temperature use. Other viscosities shown on the chart in your engine manual may
be used when the average temperature in your area is within the indicated range. The engine oil capacity is 0.6 liters (20
oz.). The gear reducer oil capacity is 0.15 liters (5 oz.).
The engine itself (
not
the PRO Drive frame) must be in the upright (level) position when filling and checking oil. Oil
filling instructions are included in the Honda engine manual.
CAUTION:
HONDA ENGINES ARE EQUIPPED WITH AN OIL ALERT UNIT. FAILURE TO ADD THE
PROPER AMOUNT OF OIL MAY RESULT IN THE ENGINE FAILING TO START. THE
ENGINE MAY ALSO SHUT DOWN IF INCLINED DURING OPERATION.
