Capacities

Briggs & Stratton 10.0 HP Intek Engine

SAE 30 - 28 oz. (.83L)

 

 

Gasoline Tank

Unleaded gasoline, 1 US gal. (3.8 L)

 

 

Tip: To avoid confusion, we recommend leaving the caps on the fuel and engine oil fills and only removing one cap each time when you are ready to pour gasoline or oil into the correct fill.

NOTE: Use SAE 30 high detergent oil classified “For Service SF, SG, SH, SJ” or higher. Do not use special additives. Other types of oil could cause problems operating your machine. Please refer to your Engine Owner’s Manual for detailed oil information.

1.Place the machine on a level surface and initially add 1/2 of the SAE 30 high detergent oil recommended by the engine manufacturer and wait one minute for the oil to settle (Figure 2 on page 15).

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 on page 15).

FILL GAS TANK OUTDOORS OR IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA, AWAY FROM SPARKS, OPEN FLAMES, PILOT LIGHTS, HEAT, AND OTHER IGNITION SOURCES.

3.Fill the gas tank with fresh, unleaded gas (with a minimum of 85 Octane), to approximately 1" to 1- 1/2" below the top of the fill neck to allow for fuel expansion. Be careful not to overfill and reinstall the cap before starting the engine. See your Engine Owner’s Manual for more information.

NOTE: To refill the gas tank, turn the engine OFF and let the engine cool at least two (2) minutes before removing the gas fill cap.
