Adding Oil and Gasoline

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 overfilling.

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.

The dipstick should NOT be screwed down on Kawasaki engines.

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 ½ of the SAE 30 high detergent oil recommended by the engine manufacturer and wait one minute for the oil to settle. (Figure 1)

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.
