8. Install 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 reaches the FULL mark. Start the engine and check for proper pressure before continuing to operate.

If the oil level is between the ADD and FULL marks, do not start the engine. Contact any Briggs & Stratton 3/LC Authorized Dealer to have the oil pressure problem corrected.

Fuel Recommendations

						Fuel must meet these requirements:
						•		This engine is certified to operate on diesel fuel. If i correct fuel is used, black
								smoke, power loss, and damage to the engine will occur, which will ot be
								covered by the warranty.
						•		Use clean, fresh diesel fuel with a minimum f 40 ceta e. Fresh fuel prevents gum
								from forming in the fuel system. Purchase fuel n a qua t ty that can be used within
								30 days. See the Storage section.
						CAUTION: Do not use kerosene or gasol ne ns ead f d esel fuel. Failure to observe this
						caution will damage the engine and void he eng ne warranty.
