NOTICE
This engine was shipped from Briggs & Stratton without oil. Equipment manufacturers or
dealers could have added oil to the engine. Before you start the engine for the first time,
make sure that the oil is at the correct level. Add oil as specified by the instructions in
this manual. If you start the engine without oil, damage will occur and the engine will not
be repaired under warranty.
We recommend the use of Briggs & Stratton
®
Warranty Certified oils for best
performance. Other high-quality detergent oils are permitted if classified for service SF,
SG, SH, SJ or higher. Do not use special additives.
Use the chart to select the best viscosity for the outdoor temperature range expected.
Engines on most outdoor power equipment operate well with 5W-30 Synthetic oil. For
equipment operated in hot temperatures, Vanguard
®
15W-50 Synthetic oil gives the best
protection.
A SAE 30 - Below 40 °F (4 °C) the use of SAE 30 will result in hard starting.
B 10W-30 - Above 80 °F (27 °C) the use of 10W-30 may cause increased oil
consumption. Check the oil level frequently.
C 5W-30
D Synthetic 5W-30

Check and Add Oil
Before you check or add oil
• Make sure the engine is level.
• Clean the oil fill area of debris.
• Refer to the Specifications section for oil capacity.
NOTICE
This engine was shipped from Briggs & Stratton without oil. Equipment manufacturers or
dealers could have added oil to the engine. Before you start the engine for the first time,
make sure that the oil is at the correct level. Add oil as specified by the instructions in
this manual. If you start the engine without oil, damage will occur and the engine will not
be repaired under warranty.
1. Remove the dipstick (A, Figure 5) and clean with a cloth.
2. Install and tighten the dipstick (A, Figure 5).
3. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level. Make sure that the oil level is at the
top of the full indicator (B, Figure 5) on the dipstick.
4. If the oil level is low, slowly add oil into the engine oil fill (C, Figure 5). Do not add
too much oil. After you add oil, wait one minute and check the oil level again. Make
sure that the oil level is correct.
5. Install and tighten the dipstick (A, Figure 5).
Low Oil Protection System (if equipped)
A low oil sensor is installed on some engines. If the oil is low, the sensor will display a
warning light or stop the engine. Stop the engine and follow these steps before you start
the engine.
• Make sure the engine is level.
• Do an oil check. Refer to the Check Oil Level section.
• If the oil level is low, add the correct amount of oil. Start the engine and make
sure the warning light (if equipped) does not come on.
• If the oil level is not low, do not start the engine. Contact a Briggs & Stratton
Authorized Service Dealer to have the oil problem corrected.
Fuel Recommendations
Fuel must meet these requirements:
• Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.
• A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON). High altitude use, see below.
• Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) is permitted.
NOTICE
Do not use unapproved gasoline, such as E15 and E85. Do not mix oil in gasoline or
change the engine to operate on alternate fuels. Use of unapproved fuels could result in
damage to engine components, which will not be repaired under the warranty.
To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix a fuel stabilizer into the fuel. Refer
to the Storage section. All fuel is not the same. If start or performance problems occur,
change fuel providers or brands. This engine is certified to operate on gasoline. The
emissions control system for carbureted engines is EM (Engine Modifications). The
emissions control systems for engines with electronic fuel injection are ECM (Engine
Control Module), MPI (Multi Port Injection), and if equipped an O2S (Oxygen Sensor).
High Altitude
At altitudes over 5,000 feet (1524 meters), a minimum 85 octane/85 AKI (89 RON)
gasoline is permitted.
For carbureted engines, high altitude adjustment is required to maintain performance.
Operation without this adjustment will cause decreased performance, increased fuel
consumption, and increased emissions. Contact a Briggs & Stratton Authorized Service
Dealer for high altitude adjustment information. Operation of the engine at altitudes
below 2,500 feet (762 meters) with the high altitude adjustment is not recommended.
For Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) engines, no high altitude adjustment is necessary.
Add Fuel
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are flammable and explosive. Fire or explosion could result in
burns or death.
When you add fuel
• Stop the engine. Before you remove the fuel cap, wait a minimum of two (2)
minutes to make sure that the engine is cool.
• Fill the fuel tank outdoors or in an area that has good airflow.
• Do not put too much fuel in the tank. For expansion of the fuel, do not fill above
the bottom of the fuel tank neck.
• Keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other ignition
sources.
• Frequently examine the fuel lines, fuel tank, fuel cap, and connections for cracks
or leaks. Replace damaged parts.
• If fuel spills, wait until it dries before you start the engine.
1. Clean the fuel cap area of dirt and debris. Remove the fuel cap.
2. Fill the fuel tank (A, Figure 6) with fuel. Because fuel will expand, do not fill above
the bottom of the fuel tank neck (B).
3. Install the fuel cap.
