6. Loosen the screw (I, Figure 9). Secure the cable sleeve (N) under the cable
clamp (M) and tighten the screw (I).
7. To check the operation of the remote throttle control, move the remote throttle
control from slow to fast a few times. The remote throttle control and the solid
wire cable (L, Figure 9) should move freely. Adjust nut (P, Figure 5) as needed
for desired operation.
Fixed Engine Speed (No Throttle Control Cable)
See Figure: 10, 11
When converted to a Fixed Engine Speed, there is no throttle control cable and no
speed selection. Fast is the only engine speed.
1. Move the throttle control / TransportGuard® lever (A, Figure 10) to the OFF
position.
2. Remove the spring (S, Figure 10).
3. Move the throttle control / TransportGuard® lever (A, Figure 10) to the FAST
position.
4. Make sure the screw (V, Figure 10) is aligned with the hole in the bracket.
Tighten screw (V) to 25 lb-in (2,8 Nm).
5. Remove the control link (H, Figure 10).
Note: The throttle control / TransportGuard® lever will now only have two positions:
STOP / OFF position and RUN position.
6. Install the new ON / OFF TransportGuard® label (O, Figure 11) over the existing
speed control label located on the trim panel (F).

Oil Recommendations

Oil Capacity: See the Specifications section.
NOTICE
Some engines are shipped from Briggs & Stratton with or without oil. Always make
sure that the engine has oil. If you start the engine without oil, it will be damaged
beyond repair and will not be included under the warranty.
We recommend the use of Briggs & Stratton
performance. Other high-quality detergent oils are permitted if classified for service SF,
SG, SH, SJ or higher. Do not use special additives.
Outdoor temperatures determine the correct oil viscosity for the engine. 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
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 Oil Level
See Figure: 12, 13
Before adding or checking the oil
• Make sure the engine is level.
• Clean the oil fill area of any debris.
• See the Specifications section for oil capacity.

NOTICE This engine was shipped from Briggs & Stratton without oil. Equipment
manufacturers or dealers may have added oil to the engine. Before you start the
engine for the first time, make sure to check the oil level and add oil according to
the instructions in this manual. If you start the engine without oil, it will be damaged
beyond repair and will not be covered under warranty.
1. Remove the dipstick (A, Figure 12) and wipe with a clean cloth.
2. Install the dipstick (A, Figure 12).
3. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level. Correct oil level is at the top of the full
indicator (B, Figure 12) on the dipstick.
4. The engine has multiple oil fills (C, G, Figure 13). If the oil level is low, slowly add
oil into one of the engine oil fills (C, G). Do not overfill. After adding oil, wait one
minute and then check the oil level.
5. Reinstall the dipstick (A, Figure 12).
Low Oil Protection System (if equipped)
Some engines are equipped with a low oil sensor. If the oil is low, the sensor will either
activate a warning light or stop the engine. Stop the engine and follow these steps
before restarting the engine.
• Make sure the engine is level.
• Check the oil level. See the Check Oil Level section.
• If the oil level is low, add the proper amount of oil. Start the engine and make sure
the warning light (if equipped) is not activated.
• 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 acceptable.
NOTICE Do not use unapproved gasolines, such as E15 and E85. Do not mix oil in
gasoline or modify the engine to run on alternate fuels. Use of unapproved fuels will
damage the engine components, which will not be covered under warranty.
To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix a fuel stabilizer into the fuel.
See Storage. 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 acceptable.
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 extremely flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
When adding fuel
• Turn engine off and let engine cool at least 2 minutes before removing the fuel
cap.
• Fill fuel tank outdoors or in well-ventilated area.
• Do not overfill fuel tank. To allow 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.
• Check fuel lines, tank, cap, and fittings frequently for cracks or leaks. Replace if
necessary.
• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.
1. Clean the fuel cap area of dirt and debris. Remove the fuel cap.
