B 10W-30 - Above 80°F (27°C) the use of 10W-30 can cause
increased oil consumption. Inspect the oil level more frequently.

1. Put the unit on a level surface (Figure 5).
2. Stop the engine and remove the starter insert (E,
Figure 3).
3. Remove all unwanted material from the oil fill area.
4. Pull the dipstick (A, Figure 5) out from the oil fill. Remove
the remaining oil from the dipstick.
5. Install and tighten the dipstick. Remove the dipstick
again. Make sure that the oil level is at the FULL mark
(B, Figure 5).
6. If the oil level is LOW, add engine oil. See
the Specifications section.
7. Wait one minute. Make sure that the oil level is at the top
of the FULL indicator. Install and tighten 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 touches
the FULL mark. Start the engine and check for the correct oil
pressure before you continue to operate the machine.
If the oil level is between the ADD and FULL marks, DO NOT
start the engine. Contact an authorized service dealer to
correct the oil pressure problem.
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.
Always handle fuel with extreme care. Failure to Observe
these safety instructions can cause fire or explosion which
could result in severe burns or death.
When Adding Fuel
• Stop the engine and let the engine cool at least 3
minutes before you remove the fuel cap.
• Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other
sources of ignition.
• 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 you start the
engine and avoid creating any source of ignition.
• Use only an approved fuel container.
1. Remove unwanted material from the fuel cap area.
2. Remove the fuel cap (A, Figure 6).
3. Fill the fuel tank (B) with fuel. DO NOT fill above the
bottom of the fuel tank neck (C).
4. Install the fuel cap.
