Engine Oil Capacity
Briggs & Stratton Intek 20 oz. (0.60 L)
Tip: To avoid confusion, we recommend leaving the caps on the fuel and oil fills until you
are ready to pour either gasoline or oil into the correct fill.
Use only SAE 30 high detergent oil. Other types of oil could cause problems operating
your machine. Please refer to your engine manufacturer’s owner’s manual for detailed oil
information.
1. Place the machine on a level
surface and initially add 16 oz.
(½ quart) of SAE 30 high
detergent oil recommended by
the engine manufacturer and
wait one minute for the oil to
settle. (Figure 2)
2. Check the dipstick and continue
adding a few ounces of oil at a
time, rechecking the dipstick
until the oil reaches the fill
mark. Be careful not to overfill.
(Figure 2)
3. Fill the gas tank to within ¼
inch of the top with fresh,
unleaded gas. See your engine
manufacturer’s owner’s manual
for more information.
Important! To get an accurate reading when checking the oil level:
⇒ The machine should be on a level surface.
⇒ The dipstick should be screwed down on Briggs & Stratton engines.
WARNING! You must add oil before starting the engine. This
machine is shipped without oil. Traces of oil may be in the reservoir from
factory testing, but YOU MUST ADD OIL BEFORE STARTING THE
ENGINE. Fill the reservoir slowly checking the dipstick frequently to avoid
overfillin
